About the BSP - The Council
Dr Mark Booth
Honorary Communications Secretary
Mark is an epidemiologist with a long term interest in parasitology. He researches a number of issues related to our understanding of the impact that parasites have at the community level.
His work in parasitology focuses on improving our understanding of host-parasite relationships in humans. A long-term interest has been data collected in the field can be used to improve our understanding of the interactions between different species of infection that infect the same host. His work also involves looking across the range of sub-disciplines within epidemiology to identify important risk factors for both morbidity and resistance to infection, combining genetic, demographic, environmental, immunological and parasitological data in his analyses.

BSP Autumn Symposium - Progress in Paediatric Parasitology
23rd September 2010
The BSP Autumn Symposium 2010 will be held on 23rd -24th September 2010 at Durham University's Queens Campus in Stockton on Tees. Run in conjunction with the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, we are stretching the programme over 2 days beginning after lunch on the 23rd and finishing after lunch on the 24th. This approach is being taken to allow people travelling from a distance to spend just one night away from home whilst being able to attend an evening social event. The talks will be given by invited speakers and we will also run a poster session.
