overview
My research focuses on understanding the biodiversity of helminth parasites of vertebrates and advancing diagnostic tools for detecting infections by vector-borne and zoonotic helminths, in special filarial nematodes, in animals and humans using molecular markers (e.g., DNA, microRNA) and innovative technologies.
