Research Interests:

Our research focuses on unicellular Apicomplexan protozoa. One important representative is Eimeria, an intestinal parasite and cause of diarrhea in young animals. This parasite causes considerable losses in the livestock industry, and is highly abundant in wildlife as well. Our major working fields are epidemiology and control of Apicomplexa, as well as interaction of apicomplexan parasites with other pathogens. Additionally, helminths and other animal parasites that strongly affect livestock and wildlife health represent another important research interest.
