 Water caltrop also aptly referred to as "devil pod", and is borne by two species of floating aquatic plants, native to Eurasia and Africa. Most interestingly, like other water plants, it may play a role in transmitting a disease known as Fasciolopsiasis. During the metacercarial stage in their life cycle, the larval flukes leave their water snail hosts, and swim away to form cysts on the surfaces of water plants, including the leaves and fruit of water caltrops. If infected water plants are consumed raw or undercooked, the flukes can infect pigs, humans and other animals.

Took blood samples and got vaccinated against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis. Will need to go back again when the reports are out for Hepatitis B vaccination. :) 

Went to the lab officially for the first time and met some of the lab members. Grace explained the whole project to me again. It suddenly seems so much clearer and I'm excited to start working on it. 


The kits will probably be arriving next week so I've got another week of holiday :D Next Tuesday will be the first time I'm attending the lab meeting. Look forward in meeting all of them.
