Areas of Interest

Parasitology, Ichthyology, Evolutionary Biology

Research

Host parasite interactions are the primary focus of my research. How these parasite interact with their hosts and the various factors that impact on that relationship is studied in vertebrate organisms ranging from frog, toad, turtles to fish. I am interested in determining how factors such as host diet, temperature, availability of infective intermediate host, host sex and age influence the seasonality of parasite populations. An additional interest lies in how these populations are regulated, both at the intermediate and definitive host levels.
