@uniofnomi.bsky.socialCheck out this #parasitology #webinar!
Toxoplasma gondii is a single-celled #parasite that spreads through #cat feces or raw meat, causing neurological problems and miscarriages in humans.
Up to half of the world's population is infected with this parasite but have no symptoms.
@mcid-unibe.bsky.socialHighlights included talks from Peter Hotez on neglected tropical diseases and anti-science, and Adrian Hill on encouraging malaria vaccine results. 🌍💉

@harvard-iid.bsky.socialPlease join us in celebrating IID faculty member Flaminia Catteruccia on receiving the ASTMH William Trager Award for her exceptional discoveries to understand and target the mosquito stages of Plasmodium infections.
Congratulations, Flaminia! 🎉
@parasitejournal.bsky.socialHow has zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis evolved in Morocco over nearly three decades?
An analysis of 58,880 cases (1995–2022) reveals cyclical epidemic peaks and persistent hotspots, with Zagora identified as a major focus of transmission 🧪

@uniofnomi.bsky.socialHighlights of #MPMXXXVII: advocating for #parasitology #research!
Parasitology may be a neglected field of #science, but #parasites are not neglecting us. Drug resistance & expanding geographical range pose major challenges.
Got parasites? Want #solutions? SUPPORT THE RESEARCH! @parasitesrule.org
@uniofnomi.bsky.socialHere's a scanning electron #microscope image of an avian (bird) #schistosome larva penetrating human skin and causing "swimmer's itch."
Check out all the spikes decorating its forked tail! OUCH!!

@spp2225.bsky.socialWhat a great finale!
After 6 years of exciting science, collaboration and networking, our SPP 2225 “Exit strategies of intracellular pathogens” came together for its final EXIT Symposium.
Thank you, EXIT community!

@uniofnomi.bsky.socialThe Travel Fellowship Awards also allow speakers from the very same countries where the #parasites we study are endemic (& from which we collect massive amounts of #data) to attend the #conference & present their own work.
Because the #parasitology community is #inclusive!
@parasitesrule.org
@uniofnomi.bsky.socialThe #parasitology conference #MPMXXXVII is in full swing!
With 387 registrants from 41 countries, 118 of us are tuning in #virtually.
"The #parasitology community is #inclusive" note the opening speakers. Indeed it is! The #virtual option & recorded talks make that possible.
