Our results revealed that women researchers are under-represented among species named after eminent scientists. This is true across all parasite or host taxa, with the gender bias showing no evidence of improving over time in the past two decades. Furthermore, among scientists whose name is immortalized in the Latin name of two or more parasite species, only eight out of 71 are women. The gender bias extends to the most frequently honoured researchers: all eight scientists whose name is an eponym for six or more parasite species are men.
