As infectious diseases such as SARS, Mpox, Polio, HIV, and Ebola travel the globe and garner media attention, Parasites Without Borders staff are curating resources in a timely, ongoing basis. We believe the information posted here is worthy of further examination by the science and medical communities. Our primary goal remains to bring the latest medical and biological information to the forefront for researchers and practicing physicians.

Throughout November, December, and January, donations made to Parasites Without Borders (PWB) will be matched by the organization and donated to MicrobeTV, with a minimum pledged donation of $10,000 and a total gift of up to $20,000. MicrobeTV is an independent podcast network for people who are interested in the life sciences. The shows are free and focus on viruses, bacteria, parasites, evolution, immunology, and neuroscience.
Founded in 2015 by Vincent Racaniello, a professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Columbia University, MicrobeTV continues to create accessible life science-based podcasts in line with the mission of providing free science education to everyone. Now more than ever, people in our world need access to accurate science so they’re able to identify disinformation.
