Recherche d'intérêts

My main research interests are the development of methods for detecting and isolating different parasites (Toxoplasma and other apicomplexans, Trichinella, Echinococcus etc.) in their hosts, in food, or in their vector species. Furthermore, I am interested in developing molecular and serological tools for the characterization and for epidemiologic investigations concerning those and other parasites under the mandate of the CFIA, like e.g. trichomonads.
