Speaker Announcement | Schistosoma-2026
We are pleased to feature Dr. Carlos Graeff Teixeira, Full Professor and Research Group Leader at the Laboratory of Helminthology, Infectious Diseases Unit and Department of Pathology, Center for Health Studies, Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Oficial), Brazil, as a distinguished speaker at the II Global Virtual Symposium on Schistosomiasis.
June 2, 2026
Online | Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Prof. Graeff-Teixeira is an internationally recognized expert in helminthology and infectious diseases, with extensive experience in parasitic disease diagnostics, epidemiology, and clinical pathology. His work has significantly contributed to understanding diagnostic performance and improving detection strategies for helminth infections, particularly in endemic regions.
His current research critically examines the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic methods for schistosomiasis, addressing challenges such as sensitivity limitations, variability across epidemiological settings, and biases in study design. His work highlights the importance of robust validation frameworks and standardized methodologies to ensure accurate disease detection, which is essential for surveillance, treatment decisions, and control programs.
In this talk, Dr. Graeff-Teixeira will present updated insights into the limitations and methodological concerns in diagnostic accuracy studies, emphasizing the need for improved evaluation strategies to support global schistosomiasis control and elimination efforts.
Join us for an important discussion on strengthening diagnostic evidence and advancing global health outcomes.
Stay tuned for more speaker announcements and program updates!
