5th International Conference on Malaria and related Haemosporidian Parasites of Wildlife
The 5th International Conference on Malaria and related Haemosporidian Parasites of Wildlife is a great opportunity to present research results, exchange ideas, and to share with each other concepts and knowledge in the field. The conference will take place in Bielefeld, Germany (originally planned for September 14-18, 2020). The tentative new date is September 13-17, 2021.
Haemosporidian parasites exhibit an amazing but still underexplored diversity of life histories and adaptations. With the increasing numbers of new systems studied, new tools becoming available and new researchers getting hooked, there is an amazing breadth of new science to be shared. The conference will once again promote international exchange and enhance collaborations within and beyond the fields of host-symbiont research, wildlife health and conservation.
As mostly non-Plasmodium researchers, the local organisers, are particularly thrilled to host such an event, encompassing diversity across the phylogenies of hosts, vectors, and parasites, as well as their diverse physiologies and evolutionary strategies.
Depending on the number of interested participants it would be offered day-long excursions to a local wetland, with the potential of containing nice assemblages of birds.
Important dates:
- Abstract Submission Deadline – April 30, 2021
- Travel grants Submission Deadline – May 1, 2021
- Registration Deadline – August 15, 2021
