Theo Murphy meeting organised by Professor Mark Viney, Dr Shannon Hedtke and Professor Erik Andersen.

Parasitic nematodes are very common and important parasites – infecting over a billion people worldwide and causing major impacts on commercial agriculture. The aims of this meeting are to discuss how to use genomics to understand the fascinating, fundamental biology of these parasites, discover their adaptions to be parasites, and help control these infections and the harm that they cause.
