Biologists says that controlling toads has been difficult as things that kill them will often kill frogs. Professor Shine and his team studied cane toads in Queensland that lagged behind the invasion front and found they were infected with a lungworm parasite which slows down adults and, in laboratory tests, kills around 30% of baby toads.<img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/287002987" height="1" width="1" /></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/biological-weapons-control-cane-toad-invasion-australia#comments Top stories biological weapons cane toad cane toads communication signals northern australia http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/4520 Fri, 09 May 2008 14:45:23 -0500 admin 4520 at http://science-nature.marc8.com
