The section studies parasites and other infections in humans and animals including fish. The main focus is on population and infection biology, host immunity and parasite-induced immune-modulation, parasitic zoonoses and control.
We use animal models and in vitro systems and develops diagnostics, vaccines and prevention and control programs. Traditionally we have a strong focus on collaboration with developing countries.
-
Aquatic Pathobiology Lab (AQUA)
We work with fish health and fish welfare. We focus on vaccinology, basic immunology, diagnostics and treatments. -
Experimental Fish Models (EXFIMO)
CRISPR, zebrafish, fish models, fish health and welfare. -
Parasites, Vectors and the Environment (PARAENVI)
Research in helminth infections and malaria in humans; the impact of drug based treatment and disease control, infection, transmission, host immune response. -
Parasites, Immunology and Gut Health (PIGH)
We work on molecular and immunoparasitology, and interactions between gut parasites, the microbiota, and host diet and metabolism. -
Veterinary Parasitology (VETPAR)
Focus on parasite infections in domestic animals applying field studies, animal experimental models and advanced in vitro systems, encompassing parasites, their biology, disease impact and control.
