Research findings
I'm interested in nematode roundworms, particularly parasitic species. I have a number of inter-linked research questions, including:
• How does the environment control nematode developmental decisions, particularly in Strongyloides spp?
• For parasitic nematode species, how does the host immune response control parasite development?
• What immune responses do wild animals make, and what drives this?
• For free-living nematode species, how do developmental responses to changing environments trade-off with other life-history traits?
