Parasitic Helminths from Genomes to Vaccines Edinburgh, 6-9 September 1997 This meeting is the first of what is hoped will be a new series of annual or biannual research meetings in Edinburgh. "Parasitic Helminths from Genomes to Vaccines" is intended to fill an important gap in the current round of regular conferences. There have been recent major advances in helminth research in the fields of gene discovery and genomics, biochemistry and physiology (e.g. neurobiology and receptors), and the immunology of host-parasite interactions. The value of a helminth-specific meeting (rather than a general parasitology meeting such as Woods Hole) has been demonstrated by recent Keystone symposia on Molecular Helminthology. This meeting hopes to make such helminth-specific gatherings more frequent and more accessible, especially at the student and postdoc levels. We hope that there will be a fruitful interaction between researchers from the C. elegans field and the many branches of molecular, biochemical and immunological parasitology.
