Research interests

Richard’s research areas of interest are focused on zoonotic disease, with particular reference to parasites. Richard’s work is varied within these fields, including diagnostics, epidemiology and pathogen discovery. Richard works on all parasitic diseases affecting humans, but also has involvement in research on veterinary parasitology, vector-borne diseases and other zoonoses. Richard applies modern and traditional techniques such as microcopy, serology, PCR and next generation sequencing/bioinformatic techniques to develop new diagnostics and to answer important questions about the transmission, molecular epidemiology, prevalence and distribution of these diseases.
