Microbe Talk - Hidden Companions: How Parasites are Adapting to a Changing World
December 17, 2025
The relationship between humans and parasites is changing along with the climate crisis, globalisation, and innovations in science. In this month's Microbe Talk, we chat to expert Kinga Kowalewska-Grochowska at the University of Alberta, Canada, about the evolutions in how we look at parasites, where they are found, and what the future holds for diagnosing and treating these illnesses. This follows Kowalewska-Grochowska's latest review 'Parasitology of the twenty-first century: are we moving in the right direction?', published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology.
