Following the resounding success of Apicomplexa-2025, we are thrilled to announce the second edition, II International Virtual Symposium on Apicomplexan Parasites Research (Apicomplexa-2026) scheduled for January 27-28, 2026 organized by Scirease. This symposium bringing together the global research community to advance the study of apicomplexan parasites.

Apicomplexa comprises a diverse group of unicellular parasites responsible for a wide range of diseases affecting humans, animals, and plants. These organisms are distinguished by a specialized structure known as the apical complex, which plays a critical role in host cell invasion and nutrient acquisition. Notable diseases caused by Apicomplexa include malaria, toxoplasmosis, and cryptosporidiosis. Effective medical interventions, along with robust prevention and control strategies, are essential to mitigate the health impact of these pathogens. Advancing our understanding of their biology is key to developing targeted approaches that can reduce infection rates and enhance the well-being of affected populations.

Our lineup of 32 featured talks highlights recent advances in understanding the biology, transmission, and treatment strategies for apicomplexan parasites like Cryptosporidium, Toxoplasma, and Plasmodium, focusing on drug candidates, vaccine development, genetic insights, and host-parasite interactions. All talks collectively highlight the importance of targeting parasite survival mechanisms and immune evasion to combat diseases such as cryptosporidiosis, toxoplasmosis, and malaria effectively.

Designed to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, Apicomplexa-2026 will feature invited talks, live Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities for both established researchers and early-career scientists. The virtual format ensures broad accessibility and global participation.
