Breakfast Club 33: Thursday, 8th May

Prof. Jane Hodgkinson – Professor of Molecular Veterinary Parasitology, Institute of Infection, Veterinary & Ecological Sciences, University of Liverpool, UK

Title: Mapping resistance loci and interrogating mechanisms of triclabendazole resistance in European isolates of Fasciola hepatica

Prof. Peter Geldhof – Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Translational Physiology, Infectiology and Public Health, Ghent University, Belgium

Title: Plant-based production of anti-nematode vaccines

In this webinar, we explore cutting-edge research on two important topics in parasitology. First, we delve into mapping resistance loci and investigating mechanisms behind triclabendazole resistance in European Fasciola hepatica isolates. Next, we discuss innovative approaches to plant-based production of anti-nematode vaccines, offering new solutions for controlling parasitic infections. These advancements contribute to a deeper understanding of parasitic resistance and vaccine development, ultimately improving animal health and welfare by enhancing disease control strategies. Join us for an insightful session on the latest breakthroughs in parasitic disease management.
