Animal Health v Welcome Apicowplexa 2012: International Meeting on Apicomplexan Parasites in Farm Animals October 25-28, 2012 Lisbon Dear colleagues, A warm welcome to Apicowplexa 2012, an international scientific meeting that is dedicated to apicomplexan parasites in farm animals! Apicomplexans cause a variety of diseases in animals and also in humans. However, while human-pathogenic diseases caused by apicomplexans are relatively well covered in terms of meetings and scientific exchange, those apicomplexans causing diseases in farm animals have been largely left out. Thus, this is why this meeting has been initiated: we want to bring together academics, researchers, students and industrial partners working on apicomplexan parasites in farm animals, and provide this meeting as a platform for scientific exchange, which is instrumental for successful networking and meeting potential collaborators. In addition, we want to discuss the possibilities and steps that could be taken in order to improve scientific exchange and collaborations, and we hope that you will participate and share your views with your colleagues. We thank those who have accepted our invitation to support this meeting by attending and providing posters, oral presentations or keynote lectures. In any case, we wish you an excellent meeting and a very enjoyable time in Lisbon!
