We have 27 Parasitology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Non-European Students
York YBDTP project: Structural vaccinology to improve vaccine design for the parasitic livestock disease animal African trypanosomiasis.
Lead supervisor: Prof Gavin Wright. Co-supervisors: Dr Jamie Blaza Chemistry. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology (University of York). Read more
York YBDTP project: Investigating the impact of PRMT-catalysed methylation on RBP:RNA interactions, mRNP granule formation (LLPS), structural dynamics and gene regulation
Lead supervisor: Dr P B Walrad. Co-supervisors: Dr Michael Plevin and Prof Will Brackenbury. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology (University of York). Read more
Identifying signatures of host specificity in protist parasites genomes
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Making sense of antigenic variation in trypanosomes: a nuclear factory with a switching problem…
Background. Many pathogens can undergo antigenic variation, one of the most sophisticated virulence mechanisms in infection biology. Read more
Viral infection capacity across crustaceans of economic importance
Crustacean diseases cause economic damage to industry and the environment. Billions are lost on a yearly basis due to disease in crustacean aquaculture and, in wild systems, crustaceans commonly introduce disease-causing microbes as biological invaders. Read more
Decoding the Cross-talk Between RNA-binding Proteins, Phosphorylation, and Molecular Chaperones in Post-Transcriptional Gene Regulation in Toxoplasma gondii
This exciting PhD project aims to unravel the fundamental molecular mechanisms controlling gene expression in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, an organism of significant importance in veterinary and agricultural biosciences. Read more

African mole-rats as potential reservoirs for zoonotic disease : variation with species, habitat and effects of climate change
Project Summary. This project investigates the zoonotic disease risks associated with African mole-rats, focusing on how environmental and physiological factors may influence their role as disease reservoirs. Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: Protein-protein interactions for control of the ruminant parasite the liver fluke
Parasitic worms are responsible for >55% of livestock diseases threatening global food security. Infection from the parasitic liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, has a negative impact on livestock production and welfare. Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: Chronobiological changes in behaviour, development and immunity of salmon lice larvae (ChronoLice)
Background. The exciting PhD research project will help us understand the biology of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis), a pervasive and damaging fish parasite that causes substantial animal welfare, environmental and economic damage by impacting aquaculture of salmon. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Validating circulating biomarkers for liver fluke diagnostics
The helminth parasite Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke) is a widespread economic and welfare threat on sheep and cattle farms, and a zoonotic threat to human health in some parts of the world. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: VIROWORM: Characterising the Interplay between Parasitic Nematodes, Viruses and their Hosts
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the spectre of panzootic highly pathogenic avian influenza, the understanding of infectious diseases (including “macro”pathogenic nematode (roundworm) parasites and “micro”pathogenic viruses) is critical as they undermine human and animal health, productivity, and food security. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: Future-proofing livestock health by quantifying the burden of disease and benefits of sustainable interventions
Parasitic worms (helminths) have been infecting humans and animals for a very long time, causing disease, loss of productivity and, in some cases, death. Read more
ENGAGING THE LIVER FLUKE ELECTROME
Liver fluke cause fasciolosis of humans and animals, significantly undermining ruminant production systems locally and globally. Control relies on a portfolio of flukicides with diminishing efficacy due to spiralling drug resistance. Read more

Assessing and predicting liver fluke risk on farms via satellite image analysis
We are seeking a highly motivated, talented and ambitious candidate to join our dynamic team of researchers at Aberystwyth University, Cardiff University and Dunbia for an exciting multi-disciplinary PhD opportunity. Read more
