8th International Giardia and Cryptosporidium Conference

Event information

We are delighted to announce the 8th International Giardia & Cryptosporidium Conference (IGCC)  from 23rd February to 26th February 2025 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Since 2014, the International Giardia and Cryptosporidium Conferences (IGCC) have provided an international platform for researchers and practitioners involved in the study of these parasites. IGCC has become an established barometer of the advances made in confronting and controlling Giardia and Cryptosporidium infections throughout the world and covers a breadth of disciplines including:
•              Molecular and cellular biology
•              Genomics and systems biology
•              Taxonomy and phylogenetics
•              Population genetics, diagnostics and epidemiology
•              Host-parasite interactions and immunology
•              Pathogenesis of disease
•              New treatment development
•              Improved control strategies and public health policies

A primary focus of the conference is to provide delegates with outstanding value, an enriched program and a number of memorable experiences within and alongside the conference itself. This will include social events that provide delegates with an exceptional opportunity to engage in uniquely Australian cultural activities and world-class scientists. We will be hosting the event in the newly built Melbourne Connect conference facility within the University of Melbourne campus and on the northern edge of Melbourne’s central business district. All of this will be available at an affordable cost and, we hope to welcome all of you to Melbourne and look forward to seeing you all once again.

Best wishes,
Aaron Jex
Chair IGCC 2025
