Trying to integrate classic and molecular Parasitology
Excited to share that our paper on Hsiungia pekingensis, a rare equine strongyle, is now published in the Journal of Helminthology!
Special thanks to my supervisors and collaborators for their support. Classical and molecular parasitology in harmony!

The first paper from my PhD is out in Parasitology! Using DNA metabarcoding, I show patterns of parasite infection in Sable Island horses!

It's open access, so go check it out!

We successfully held our Equine Parasitology Workshop at UCVM, bringing together DVM and grad students for an engaging day of learning and hands-on experience. The workshop covered everything from classic parasitology techniques to cutting-edge diagnostics like nemabiome analysis. 🐎🪱

Hi everyone, I’m Katie! I’m in my final year of a bachelors degree in Biological Sciences at UCalgary. I’m interested in wildlife biology and love getting involved in research projects within this field. I’m hoping to pursue grad school in the future!

There probably aren’t enough equine scientists here yet for such a request, but I may as well try anyway:

We are very keen to receive equine strongyle L3 cultures from around the globe for nemabiome analyses. If this is something you would like to contribute to feel free to get in touch!

Hi everyone! I'm Sina, a PhD candidate at the University of Calgary. My research focuses on equine gastrointestinal strongyle parasites, examining their molecular diversity and characterizing them using advanced techniques like nemabiome metabarcoding alongside traditional morphology.
