title: Drug discovery, development and deployment: a report from the 28th Joint Conference of the U.S.-Japan Parasitic Diseases Panels, Baltimore, Maryland, July 1993.
abstract: The 28th Joint Conference of the Parasitic Diseases Panels of the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Medical Sciences Program held in Baltimore, Maryland focused on current research within both countries on antiparasitic chemotherapy.
