The genome projects represent one of the most important developments in our knowledge of parasites. However, translation of this knowledge into an understanding of parasite biology and then on to drugs, vaccines and other healthcare developments for the diseases will need some élan and clarity of thought by scientists and funding organizations. Only then will the activity associated with post-genomics be turned from what I have termed 'genome babble' to real opportunities in understanding these parasites.
基因组计划是我们对寄生虫认识方面最重要的进展之一。然而，要将这一知识转化为对寄生虫生物学的理解，进而转化为针对这些疾病的药物、疫苗及其他医疗进展，科学家和资助机构需要具备一定的冲劲和清晰的思路。只有这样，与后基因组学相关的活动才会从我所说的“基因组胡言乱语”转变为理解这些寄生虫的真正机遇。
