- Research theme
-
- Relationship between the parasite evolution and their host.
- Parasite dynamics, pathogenesis and morphological and molecular characters.
- More usuful diagnosis and identification methods for parasites.
Outline of research activities
I analyze influences of biogeographic phenomena such as evolution and migration of host animals on parasite distribution or population using molecular phylogenetic analyses. I’m also conducting research on the mechanisms of migration and pathology of helminths in their host.
- Desired cooperation
-
- Experimental biological research of parasitic helminths.
- Biogeographic study of host livestocks and wild animals.
