Wildlife Molecular Parasitology: From Taxonomy to DNA in Costa Rica @HelmCamp2026

Students of HelmCamp
Students of HelmCamp learn to analyze DNA from wildlife parasites
Deadline to Apply: March 22, 2026
Field ecologists and conservation biologists increasingly rely on molecular tools to understand the hidden dynamics of wildlife health and biodiversity. Our lab is pioneering the next generation of strategies in Molecular Parasitology.

In 2026, we are pleased to be co-presenting a unique opportunity to gain these skills through the Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) in Costa Rica. This will be the second installment of our "HelmCamp" field course: Wildlife Molecular Parasitology: Taxonomy to DNA.

Research highlight: gastrointestinal parasites of Costa Rican sloths (Ezequiel Vanderhoeven et al.)

A new paper from the Kartzinel Lab is the first to compare the parasites of wild two- and three-toed sloths living in both primary forests and urban habitats. Led by Ezequiel Vanderhoeven, the paper Host specificity of gastrointestinal parasites in free-ranging sloths from Costa Rica was published in partnership with our friends at Sloth Conservation Foundation.
