The parasitesrule site has an archive of abstract books from the Molecular Parasitology Meeting (MPM) & the Kinetoplastid Molecular Cell Biology Meeting (KMCB). The book from the first MPM (1990) is also there!

The @veupathdb.org user comments campaign at #MPM2025 yielded 200 user comments from 66 attendees! Thanks, contributors 💐
For example: a comment on gene cgd5_3570 on CryptoDB pointed out that GGC proteins exhibit male-specific expression according to single-cell RNA seq. Good to know!

A common parasite can decapitate human sperm − with implications for male fertility
If you’ve handled cat litter or eaten raw meat or unwashed produce, there’s a chance you might have a permanent toxoplasmosis infection spread throughout your body.
