The site has been up for about a month now and is getting pretty full of
content. Most of my efforts are invested to get as much of the "Veterinary
Bacteriology" section ready as possible for the beginning of the academic
year at the end of this month. Nevertheless, I got the "Links" page up
yesterday with relevant bookmarks ordered by subjects.
Additional images and the host-parasite chapter will be up next.
