FLAM – Abstracts from the bi-annual meeting on Free-Living Amoebae

We are attempting to make abstracts from as many as possible of the biannual meetings of the “Society” for the study of Free-Living Amoebae (FLAM) available to all.   The abstracts were usually never formally published in a journal.  Most proceedings were only available as a booklet provided to the attendees.  We believe that the information from these meetings can be a valuable source of information for researchers on FLAM, even though the material must be viewed as non-refereed.

Several previous organizers were very supportive of the idea of bringing these abstracts together in a form that would be available to all.  Thanks go to Jacob Lorenzo Morales,  Julia Walochnik, Fernando Lares and the editors of Folia Parasitoligica for providing much of these materials.  (Additional meeting abstracts are still being sought).

The meetings for which abstracts are currently available are as follows:
