Description:

During a hot Mediterranean summer, an expedition brought parasitologists from Brazil, France, Greece, Europe, and Serbia to a wooded area near Xanthi, Thrace, northeastern Greece, near the Turkish border, on the track of the vector of the little-known nematode Onchocerca lupi. The scientific purposes of the expedition blended then with stories of humans, animals, and parasites in this rural area.
