Funded Activity Summary
Decoding the molecular components of aquatic parasite-host interactions. This project aims to further understand the molecular components that regulate aquatic host-parasite interactions which contributes to many diseases worldwide. Aquatic parasites rely on chemical cues to locate and infect their host. This project will target the aquatic host-parasite interaction to decipher these chemical cues, so that future tools may be developed to suppress this interplay. This project expects to contribute imperative basic knowledge for the future control of the intestinal parasite disease, Schistosomiasis, a devastating tropical disease.Funded Activity Details
