We have 7 Parasitology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students in Reading
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 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.

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 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
Forensic acarology: the importance of mites in forensic investigations
This project involves the study of mites (Acari) in their role as useful markers in forensic investigations. . Read more
Ecology and behaviour of urban wildlife
The construction and development of urban areas is a relatively recent phenomenon. Urbanisation does, however, impose a range of advantages and disadvantages for biological organisms and which can bring them into conflict with humans. Read more
