The next Trypanosomatid Parasites Meeting will start on Monday 28th October at 9:30am and will continue until Tuesday 29th at 4:30pm.

In order to cover a large panel of research topics, a total of 6 sessions are planned. Each session will be composed of an invited keynote presentation followed by 4 selected talks:
- Epidemiology, Public Health and Epistemology: Marleen BOELAERT (ITM, Antwerp, Belgium)
- Diagnosis, Drug and Vaccine Development: Veerle LEJON (IRD, Montpellier, France)
- Ecology and Medical Entomology: Steve TOR (LSTM, Liverpool, UK)
- Immunology and Physiology: Guy CALJON (University of Antwerp, Belgium)
- Cell Biology and Metabolism: Dolorez GONZALEZ PACANOWSKA (Instituto de Parasitología y Biomedicina, Granada, Spain)
- Genetics and Evolution: Virginie ROUGERON (IRD, Montpellier, France)  

In addition to these talk sessions, a poster session will take place on Monday late afternoon and accompanied by a cocktail. As usual, the conference diner will be organized in a Parisian restaurant.

This 6th edition of the Trypanosomatid Parasites Meeting benefits from direct financial supports from Sanofi and the Institut Pasteur for the organisation. Thanks to our sponsors, registration is free and includes full access to all the conference sessions, coffee breaks, lunches and the cocktail during the poster session. Only the conference diner will be charged to attendees. However, registration is mandatory.  

PhD students and post-docs are strongly encouraged to present their recent work to the community. A detailed program of the event will be available early in October 2019.  

This edition promises a lot of intense scientific discussions on hot topics. Don't forget to register before September 30th 2019! on  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/trypanosomatid-parasites-meeting-vi-from-the-lab-to-the-field-tickets-50864283441

The Institut Pasteur is holding the meeting "Eukaryome impact on Intestine homeostasis and mucosal immunology" in Paris, France - October 16 to 18,2019. The conferences will address the following topics: 

- Phylogenetic, prevalence, and diversity of intestinal eukaryotic microbes; and their (still enigmatic) historical evolution and potential contributions to mucosal immune homeostasis.
- Integrative biology to study the molecular cell biology of parasite-host interactions and the multiple parameters underlining the infectious process.
- The exploitation of tissue engineering and microfluidics to establish three-dimensional (3D) systems that help to understand homeostasis and pathological processes in the human intestine.

A large panel of experts is engaged in this event. The organizing committee would be happy to welcome you to Paris, France for this exciting meeting.

Deadline for registration : until maximum capacity is reached

Deadline for abstracts submission  : August 26, 2019 (10 short talks will be selected among the abstracts submitted)

The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has adopted a positive scientific opinion of fexinidazole, the first all-oral treatment that has been shown to be
efficacious for both stages of sleeping sickness. This approval is a result of clinical trials led by the non-profit research and development organization DNDi and an application submitted by Sanofi. The decision paves the way for the distribution of fexinidazole in endemic countries in 2019.

The VII^th International Giardia and Cryptosporidium Conference (IGCC) will be held at Rouen University, Normandy, France from the 23th to the 26th of June, 2019.

The IGCC has become an established reference in the field of Giardia and Cryptosporidium studies. With the support of the international Scientific Committee, the organizers intend to make every effort to host this high level event to the satisfaction of all. From the outset, the IGCC has provided researchers with a unique opportunity to meet up and share knowledge. The upcoming Conference should be no exception and will provide a framework for discussion of the latest research findings with a truly interdisciplinary perspective.

Abstract submission deadline : February 17^th, 2019, Midnight (GMT)

Registration Deadline : April 22^nd, 2019
