Parasitology Club Shares the Love on Valentine’s Day

On Valentine’s Day, the NSU Parasitology Club held an educational event outside of the Parker Building. There they showcased parasites that reflected the day’s theme: schistosomes that mate for life, head and pubic lice that are spread by close contact, Trichomonas which is a major STD among college aged people, and a display of live Entamoeba gingivalis (a harmless mouth microbe) which is spread by kissing.

The parasitology club’s advisor is Halmos faculty member Chris Blanar, Ph.D.
