Parasitology

The extent of anthelmintic resistance in some important animal parasites is reaching dramatic levels

Within the theme of zoonotic pathogens, we carry out work on several zoonotic parasites, of which the roundworm Toxocara in dogs and cats is one of the more prominent. Next to this genus, we are involved in work on other zoonotic parasites as well (e.g. Giardia), focusing on epidemiology, diagnosis and zoonotic risk.
