Parasitology and Aquatic Pathobiology

Mikroskopfoto af spoleormslarve på vej ud af ægget

Section for;Parasitology and Aquatic Pathobiology (PAP) 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.

The section uses 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

      CRISPR, zebrafish, fish models, fish health and welfare.
    • Parasites 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.
    • 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.
    • Parasites, Immunology and Gut Health (PIGH)

      We work on molecular and immunoparasitology, and interactions between gut parasites, the microbiota, and host diet and metabolism.
