Dear Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 1st Parasitologia International Virtual Conference: World of Parasites (WoP-1). The conference is organized by the MDPI open access journal Parasitologia (ISSN: 2673-6772, Impact Factor: 1.5) and will take place online from 19 to 20 April, 2027.
Parasites continue to shape the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems worldwide, while rapid advances in molecular biology, epidemiology, immunology, and ecological sciences are transforming our understanding of these complex organisms. This conference aims to bring together scientists and professionals from diverse disciplines to discuss current discoveries, emerging challenges, and future perspectives across the many dimensions of parasitology.
The scientific program will cover the following themes:
S1. Parasite Biology, Genetics, and Molecular Mechanisms;
S2. Host–Parasite Interactions, and Immune Defenses;
S3. Veterinary Parasitic Diseases: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Pathogenesis;
S4. Epidemiology, Surveillance, and Public Health.
Through keynote lectures, oral communications, and interactive discussions, the conference will provide a stimulating environment for exchanging ideas and strengthening collaborations within the international parasitology community. Special attention will be given to the interconnected nature of parasite research, spanning human and veterinary medicine, environmental change, vector biology, and global health.
As the inaugural edition of World of Parasites, we hope this meeting will serve as a platform for fostering dialog between established researchers and early-career scientists while highlighting innovative approaches to understanding parasite biology and control strategies in an ever-changing world.
We sincerely look forward to your participation and to welcoming you to this exciting scientific gathering.
Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Geoff Hide
University of Salford, Salford, UK
Conference Chair of the 1st Parasitologia International Virtual Conference: World of Parasites
