scientific sessions
the scientific sessions at #cryptosporidium2022 were designed to give delegates the chance to hear about the latest advances in the field of cryptosporidium, share good practice, and establish collaborations with others across science, industry, public and environmental health and clinical and veterinary practice.
the meeting was kicked off by two members of the organising committee: angharad davies opened with a welcome session and introduced rachel chalmers, who began the scientific session with her keynote presentation.
