Au revoir, France! 🇫🇷
It's been a blast with great conversations @iseempd and the Eiffel cherry on top last night👌

[Maarten Vanhove @MPM_Vanhove]

So proud of the team representing @BiTE_UHasselt @CMK_Uhasselt @uhasselt @facdessciences @um5rabat for the 1st time @iseempd, contributing talks on rhabdocoel and digenean parasitic flatworms of marine invertebrates & posters on African freshwater monogeneans and crab parasites.

[Parasite - The Journal @ParasiteJournal]

Results presented by Dr Bouguerche at @iseempd about Cyclocotyla bellone are now published and #openaccess:

Chahinez Bouguerche presenting excellent results on the monogenean Cyclocotyla bellones and answering to the question "is it a hyperparasite or an epibiont?"
at @iseempd

[Jean-Lou Justine @Plathelminthe4]

Metacercariae of Cryptocotyle from commercial fish species in the North Sea and English Channel, by Maureen Duflot at @iseempd

[Betina Porcel @BetinaPorcel]

A fabulous talk on historical ecology of parasitism by @DrChelseaLWood
So inspiring! @iseempd

[David W. Thieltges @DavidWThieltges]

@DrChelseaLWood now speaks on 'Is the world wormier than it used to be?' at @iseempd in La Rochelle. And of course she is dressed for the occasion (check out the prints on her dress!)

[Jean-Lou Justine @Plathelminthe4]

Simonetta Mattiucci presenting about anisakids (of course!) at @iseempd

"A healthy ecosystem is one with a high level of anisakids" 🧐

[David W. Thieltges @DavidWThieltges]

Milen Nachev presenting new exiting work on stable isotopes and parasites from freaky South African parasitic isopodes at @iseempd in La Rochelle.

[Betina Porcel @BetinaPorcel]

Did I hear #Apicomplexa ? Corallicolids and coral health by Mark Freeman @iseempd

[Jean-Lou Justine @Plathelminthe4]

Should we study the microbiome of parasites? I am now convinced that we should, after listening to Robert Poulin this morning at @iseempd

[David W. Thieltges @DavidWThieltges]

The last day of @iseempd in La Rochelle has started with Robert Poulin from NZ joining online, speaking about microbiomes in parasite-host interactions.

[Ásthildur @asthildure]

This poster machine has not one, but TWO super exciting posters @iseempd! Be sure to check them out! Not just clever but also an amazing person @MolluscHildur 🐚🤩

[Betina Porcel @BetinaPorcel]

@iseempd Did you say #Apicomplexa ? Great talk by Allam Bassem on an emerging #apicomplexan parasite in the bay scallop Argopecten irradians irradians.

[Ásthildur @asthildure]

First conference for this PhD! 🐚
So many excellent talks and posters here @iseempd! Oh, and don't even get me stared on the food 🤌🤤

[Jean-Lou Justine @Plathelminthe4]

Gregarines are fascinating...
@iseempd

[David W. Thieltges @DavidWThieltges]

Now at @iseempd in La Rochelle:
Max Willens @crabbymaxie is presenting results from her internship at @NIOZnieuws on a new invasive shell-boring worm which could become a problem for European aquaculture!

[David W. Thieltges @DavidWThieltges]

Now it is @AMHBlakeslee 's turn at the @iseempd: parasite invasions!

[David W. Thieltges @DavidWThieltges]

Insa Herzog talking about seal lice as vectors for heartworms in seals and their adaptations to living on seals at the @iseempd. Amazing natural history!
