Travel Blogging with the Leishmania Parasite
Para-site-seeing is a travel blogging portal for the Leishmania parasite, created by Jen Southern and Rod Dillon and co-commissioned with NEoN and the Wellcome Centre for Anti-Infectives Research. This travel blogging site follows the movements of parasites between humans, dogs, insects and laboratory lives, across the world and through time. The lifespan of the Leishmania parasite is entangled with the social, economic, and political situations it appears in, follow us now to see these stories unfold.
If you’re visiting Neon festival drop in to the welcome hub and activity centre in the Wellgate Shopping Centre to take a cellfie with the parasites, and upload to Instagram with the #parasiteseeing hashtag to appear on the website.
The eight Leishmania narratives are unfolding through their social media streams from 4 – 20 November; follow them now for daily updates on their travels!
Join us on Youtube to follow our out of body travels around the lab at the Wellcome Centre for Anti-Infectives Research in Dundee. We spend most of our time in cyro, biding our time before we can ride those crazy machines. Buckle up!

Inspired by Dundee’s ‘two intrepid ladies’ we set out to travel around the world and through time in search of our fellow Leishmania.
Visceral Media is a group that follows how leishmaniasis is represented in news and video media. We seek out the stories that give us, Leishmania parasites, a bad name. If you find any stories out there share them with our admin Kala Azar.
