Scholarly Interest:
Epidemiology and control
of internal parasites of grazing animals. This includes improved diagnostics,
evaluation of anthelmintics and sustainable use of anthelmintics by
management of livestock. Anthelmintic resistance is a major and increasing
problem for many producers. Identifying if a problem is going to occur
before it does by looking at he genetics of the worm and the selection
of animals, which have the capacity for resistance to or resilience
from the effects of gastrointestinal parasitism are important aspects
of this research. Exploitation of the parasite at times of vulnerability
by management such as dietary manipulation, targeting treatment, seasonal
reproduction, grazing management and rapid evaluation of parasite populations
are areas of interest.
