Research Interests: Comparitive cell biology and pathology of Microsporidia, phylum Protista, obligate

intracellular parasites, infecting invertebrate and vertebrate animals and man.

As a comparative pathobiologist, I have studied these organisms in various host groups

including insects, molluscs, trematodes, fish, mammals, and man. Research includes

parasite identification, developmental biology, ultrastructure, pathology, and host-parasite

interface/interaction. For the past 20 years my research interests have included the

discovery, identification, description, developmental and cell biology of human-infecting

Microsporidia.
