Biological studies of GPI-anchoring in Trypanosoma cruzi
… mechanisms by cellular,\r\nbiochemical, and molecular genetics approaches. In several protozoans, including T.\r\ncruzi, dominant cell surface proteins are attached to the parasite membrane by\r\nglycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors and play roles in host cell attachment …

Evolutionary patterns within the Anthozoa (phylum Cindaria) reflected in ribosomal gene sequences
… yielded only small amounts of DNA of very low molecular weight, which limits the length of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) products that can be generated with standard protocols. I was successful in producing PCR fragments from museum specimens by performing an extended tissue digestion on the …

Use of molecular markers to investigate epidemiology of and host manipulation by the invasive parasite Dicrocoelium dendriticum
… both of which can be investigated using molecular markers. Dicrocoelium dendriticum is one such emerging parasite, which has invaded Alberta. Here, I use molecular markers to identify two local Albertan hosts colonized by D. dendriticum; the snail Oreohelix subrudis and the ant Formica …

Liver fluke development: a target for parasite control?
Fasciolosis, a debilitating disease caused by flatworm parasites belonging to the genus Fasciola, is a prominent threat to global food security due to its widespread infection of agriculturally significant ruminants. Recent studies have identified a population of proliferative cells within Fasciola …
