Infektionsdiagnostik, serologi, nötkreatur, parasiter, Neospora, kryptosporidier,  infection diagnostics, serology, cattle, parasites, Neospora, Cryptosporidium                    

Min forskning är i huvudsak inriktad på parasitinfektioner hos nötkreatur och rör framför allt diagnostik, epidemiologi och kontroll av encelliga parasiter såsom kryptosporidier (Cryptosporidium spp) och Neospora caninum.
