The Road to ICOPA 2026 | Permanent Ectoparasites of Humans

Permanent ectoparasites of humans remain an important but often overlooked area of parasitology, with implications for individual health, public health, and disease control. As part of The Road to ICOPA 2026 webinar series, Webinar 4 explores the biology, epidemiology, clinical impact, and control of permanent ectoparasites affecting humans. “Permanent Ectoparasites of Humans: Biology, Epidemiology, Clinical Impact, and Control” features Prof. Kosta Mumcuoglou, who examines the factors that influence the persistence and spread of these parasites, their effects on human health, and the approaches available for prevention and control. ICOPA 2026 continues these scientific discussions by bringing together researchers, clinicians, and public health professionals working across the many disciplines of parasitology.
