IWOP 11 Participants


IWOP 11 met in Hilo, Hawaii during the week of August 1-5, 2010. Participants (pictured to the left) represented investigators involved in the research of Pneumocystis, Toxoplasma, Microsporidia, Cryptosporidium and the amoebae. Roundtable discussions were held regarding the importance of sustained funding for these "overlooked" organisms and for a standard system for genetic nomenclature. Investigators in these fields are invited to participate in the ongoing blog discussions on this website regarding these 2 issues. (MTC 8/16/10)
