See you in Badajoz this September
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[VII international Conference of Malaria @ViiMalaria42083]

📢 Announcement: We are delighted to announce the VII International Congress on Malaria and Other Blood Parasites of Wildlife, taking place in Badajoz, Spain, from September 2-5, 2026.

🦠 Parasites must adapt to diverse hosts.
🐦 In avian malaria, gene expression shifts with the host — highlighting epigenetics & plasticity 🔬✨
Now in Molecular Biology and Evolution 📖

Parasites have memory? 🚨
Our #preprint on bioRxiv explores how #epigenetic regulation shapes #transcriptomic plasticity in #Plasmodium homocircumflexum! 🧬🦠 Instead of random adaptation, gene expression follows a fascinating transition over time. 👀👇 https://t.co/DaeUgV1P2V

🐦 However, research gaps remain! Most studies focus on a few bird species & use different methods, making comparisons difficult. Standardized approaches & broader taxonomic sampling are needed to fully understand the protective role of uropygial secretions. 🦠🔬

🔬 Our review compiles 35 studies examining the antimicrobial effects of uropygial secretions across #bird species. We found that these secretions are generally more effective against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria & fungi. 🦠🦜 #AvianBiology

🌍An unforgettable congress in #Medellin
A great way to network ↔️ with new groups and strengthen previous relationships 😊

[Luz Garcia-Longoria @luzglongoria]

What a great experience I have had thanks to @MalariaConf2024
Talks of a great scientific 🧪 level from great friends all over the world 🌎 . I miss you all already !

[Marzal_Lab @LabMarzal]

It's official ❗️
The next wildlife and avian haemosporidia congress will be in #Badajoz !
See you in two years guys 😊.
