The XIIth International Congress of Parasitology (ICOPA 2010)

This conference will be an important forum for the dissemination and discussion of new findings in this rapidly expanding field. The theme of the congress is Understanding the global impact of parasites-from genomes to function and disease around which we are developing an exciting scientific program that will provide a dynamic platform for the vibrant and fruitful exchange of your new findings, research questions and state-of-the-art techniques. We are confident the diversity of themes that will be covered in this conference will encourage positive collaborations and abstracts will be solicited on all topics that span the enormous range of parasitology. The conference will provide the scientific depth required by including a range of Plenary talks that will complement a larger number of oral presentations in parallel thematic sessions.
