BENEFACTORS
A new Toronto Academy could raise the standard of clinical medicine in Toronto. The University of Toronto has many FREE meetings not advertised to non-Academic MDs. Without an Academy the non-University specialists and GPs have to rely on pharmaceutical sponsored CME-Dinner meetings or pay about $300 a day for medical meetings..
The Academy could rent space in a building similar to The Cleveland Clinic with 28,000 sq.ft .

New mosquito type raises concern
------------------------------
Scientists have identified a new type of mosquito. It is a subgroup
of _Anopheles gambiae_, the insect species responsible for most of the
malaria transmission in Africa. Researchers tell Science magazine that
this new mosquito appears to be very susceptible to the parasite that
causes the disease -- which raises concern. The type may have evaded
classification until now because it rests away from human dwellings
where most scientific collections tend to be made.
Dr Michelle Riehle, from the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France, and
colleagues made their discovery in Burkina Faso, where they gathered
mosquitoes from ponds and puddles near villages over a period of 4
years. When they examined these insects in the lab, they found many to
be genetically distinct from any _A. gambiae_ insects previously
recorded.
