The British Society for Parasitology (BSP) holds a biannual symposium devoted to the kinetoplastids, and seeks to cover the full gamut of research into these important organisms, and alternates with the Woods Hole Kinetoplastid Molecular Cell Biology meeting that serves a similar community. While normally embedded within the main BSP Spring meeting, on several occasions the symposium has enjoyed the opportunity of being hosted on mainland Europe. In 2020, the BSP was fortunate to spend some time in Granada in Spain, where a superb meeting with excellent science in a spectacular setting was overshadowed by news of an emerging novel coronavirus. In this editorial, we hope to have captured some of that excellent science and to highlight aspects of the many great papers and reviews in this special issue, as well as provide a few images from the meeting, which we hope for this who attended will bring back some fond memories.
英国寄生虫学会（BSP）每半年举办一次专门针对动基体目生物的研讨会，旨在涵盖对这些重要生物的全方位研究，并与伍兹霍尔动基体目分子细胞生物学会议交替举行，该会议为类似的研究群体服务。虽然通常嵌入在 BSP 春季会议的主要会议中，但在某些情况下，该研讨会有幸在欧洲大陆举办。2020 年，BSP 有幸在西班牙的格拉纳达度过了一段时间，在那里举行了一次精彩的会议，会议展示了出色的科学，而新出现的新型冠状病毒的消息却给会议蒙上了阴影。在这篇社论中，我们希望能捕捉到其中一些精彩的科学，并强调本期特刊中许多优秀论文和评论的各个方面，以及提供会议的一些图片，我们希望这些图片能让参加会议的人回忆起一些美好的记忆。
