title: Cryopreservation of parasites.
abstract: The Round Table addressed 4 main themes: 1. An overview (E. JAMES), summarising cryoprotectants and cooling procedures; 2. Cryobanks and genetic diversity (R. MULLER) with a list of parasite cryobanks; 3. New techniques in cryopreservation including those for Cryptosporidium (P. ROSSI), metacestodes of Echinococcus multilocularis (J. ECKERT), entomopathogenic nematodes (I. POPIEL) and Trichinella (P. ROSSI); 4. Large scale cryopreservation methods for use in vaccines (E. JAMES) and for industry (I. POPIEL).
