FAO NETWORK FOR HELMINTHOLOGY IN LATIN AMERICA
AND THE CARIBBEAN
2
Aims The aims of this network are to

• Create an updated inventory of electronic
  addresses
• of helminthologists interested in the
  epidemiology
• diagnosis and control of helminths

• Provide relevant news to the network

• Organize electronic conferences on relevant
  issues
• (i.e.anthelmintic resistance, Integrated
  Parasite Control,
• biological control etc)

• Make activities known (i.e. Reference
  Laboratories,
• international conferences, training, courses,
  publications)

• Extend the research information to professionals
  
• working in the field
