Funded Activity Summary

The study builds on strong existing NHMRC funded collaborative research links between Sri Lanka and Australia in research which have reduced mortality and provided better evidence for treatment of pesticide poisoning. We will study the paralysing effects of acute insecticide poisoning and snakebite on the human nervous system. We aim to determine whether these can be predicted early in the course of the illness and the long term effects. We also aim to see if any particular insecticides cause more problems than others.
