Nuestro Equipo
Our team has had a lifetime of experience in teaching parasitic diseases to students of medicine, both within the U.S. and abroad. Our goal is to eliminate human suffering due to parasitic infections, and in order to do so, it is essential that there is more -- and better -- education for those in a position to apply medical knowledge to populations most in need. Our resources provide solutions to help alleviate the burden of parasitic diseases.

Nuestro Misión
Parásitos Sin Fronteras was founded as a direct response to the question: What can one do to help eliminate human suffering due to parasitic infections? For us, the answer was easy: More and better education for those in a position to apply medical knowledge directly to the people and places that need it most.
Our three founders have had a lifetime of experience in teaching parasitic diseases to students of medicine, both within the U.S and abroad. The mission statement is clear; we want to help bring the latest medical and basic biological information pertaining to diseases caused by eukaryotic parasites to every practicing physician and medical student within the United States.
Altruism among the medically trained U.S. corp of physicians is legend, and enjoys a rich history of interactions in the tropics around the world. The main problem is that while many U.S. doctors volunteer their services in the less developed world, they then encounter infectious entities that they have never before even heard of. We want to address this glaring omission in their education by supplying them with a comprehensive textbook on the subject of parasitic diseases and their management. In addition, we offer an online course based on our book that will enable each student the opportunity of becoming certified in parasitic diseases once they have successfully completed the course.
