In the research group, we are investigating different aspects of parasitolgy among our domestic and wild animals. We are using both traditional and molecular methods in our parasitology research.
Our research spans parasite infections and species diversity in livestock and wildlife, anthelmintic resistance, parasite genomics and we are developing and applying molecular techniques for parasite detection.
We are working with parasites that are infecting:
- Cattle
- Sheep
- Horses
- Reindeer
- Wild ungulates (Roe deer, Red deer, Fallow deer and Moose)
