glmm for binomial data? (OT)

A while ago (April 2002) there was a short thread on software for generalized 
linear mixed models. 

Since that time, has anyone written or found R code to use a glmm to analyze 
binomial data?  I study CWD in white-tailed deer, and I'd like to do a 
similar analysis as Kleinschmidt et al. (2001, Am. J. Epidemiology 153: 
1213-1221) used to assess control for spatial structure in malaria incidence 
in South Africa.  They used SAS PROC MIXED in an iterative procedure with a 
poisson model, although due to widely varying sample sizes I'd prefer to 
treat my data as binomial (e.g., CWD pos or neg rather than number of CWD pos 
deer).

Thanks,

Damien
