Abstract: BACKGROUND Travel-related malaria in non-endemic areas returning from endemic areas presents important challenges to diagnosis and treatment. Imported malaria to newly malaria-free countries poses further threats of malaria re-introduction and potential resurgence. For those traveling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x20000590
Abstract: The biodiversity and composition of endoparasites in fish obtained from the Antarctic and subantarctic zones are compared in this study. Several fish were collected in the summer from Antarctica (King George Island) and the Southern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-47083-x
Abstract: Conspicuous carotenoid ornamentation is considered a signal of individual “quality” and one of the most intensely studied traits found to co-vary with parasitism. Since it has been suggested that only “high quality” individuals have enough… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0274474
Abstract: Parasite species richness is influenced by a range of drivers including host related factors (e.g. host size) and environmental factors (e.g. seawater temperature). However, identification of modulators of parasite species richness remains one of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/pathogens10101344
Abstract: It is important to assess the distribution of parasite species across wildlife populations, to design strategies for game management and effective disease control in nature. In this project we quantified the prevalence of Elaphostrongylus species… read more here.
