SIU student earns NIH grant for biological pest control
Walter Wilhelm of Southern Hills receives a 5700 NIH fellowship to study microsporidia as a biological pest control. The SIU graduate, advised by Richard Kude, follows Carson’s Silent Spring caution while government reviews favor increased biological over chemical pest management. Wilhelm, a doctoral candidate at SIU since 1960, studies a microsporidian in fish eggs that can halt host reproduction and threaten the host species.
