The Slovak Parasitological Society at the Slovak Academy of Sciences and the Parasitological Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences invite you to an international conference XVIth Slovak and Czech Parasitological Days Parasites in the Heart of Europe 3, to be held in the High Tatras in Slovakia from September 21 to 25, 2026.

Our conference continues the tradition of biannual scientific meetings, which began in 1994 and has been organized jointly by the Slovak Society for Parasitology and the Czech Society for Parasitology. 

This year, the conference will once again be held in an expanded format as the third continuation of Parasites in the Heart of Europe, welcoming parasitologists from a broad international community, with English serving as the official language. In addition, the traditional scientific meeting "Labuda's Days" dedicated to the eminent Slovak biologist Milan Labuda, will be held as an integral part of the programme. 

Participants will have the opportunity to hear renowned speakers addressing a wide range of topics. The conference will also provide ample opportunities for attendees to present their own work, encouraging scientific discussion and fostering collaboration among researchers from the international scientific community. The organizers are looking forward to extending a warm welcome to you in the High Tatras.
