The wonder of worms and plants: WORMVACS2.0 at the Hydra Helminth Conference — WORMVACS2.0 Between 7 and 12 September 2025, parasitic worm researchers gathered in Hydra, Greece, for this year’s Helminth Conference. Researchers from the WORMVACS2.0 consortium also participated and contribute...

🪱What are the effects of worm infections on human health?
🌿Can plants help us develop vaccines?

Here are some of the answers the #WORMVACS team presented at last week’s Hydra #Helminth Conference➡️ tinyurl.com/3ezyn8ta
