Dispatches From The Field * Where Are They? * Why Are They Doing This? * Bloodfeeding * Research In The Leech Lab
Dr. Mark Siddall, a curator in the Division of invertebrate Zoology, and his assistant Liz Borda are
on expedition in the rainforests of Madagascar and the Seychelles in search of endemic species
of terrestrial leeches.
Follow their progress on-line as they roll up their pant legs
relishing the wormy scourges of Old World jungles. As satellite time permits, Mark, Liz and their Malagasy research team, will be updating this web site
with real-time dispatches of their encounters and experiences.
