Prof. Robert Poulin - University of Otago, Department of Zoology, New Zealand Originally from Montreal, Canada, Robert obtained a BSc from McGill University and a PhD from Laval University, before eventually joining the University of Otago in 1992. Since arriving there, he has established a research programme in parasite ecology and evolution that focuses on broad questions but not on any particular taxa. Currently, his research group has four main research directions. First, his lab investigates the forces shaping the evolution of parasites, in particular the evolution of life history traits such as body size, host specificity, the ability to manipulate host behaviour, and the complexity of the transmission pathways. Second, they are studying the role of parasites in aquatic ecosystems, i.e. how they affect community diversity and food web stability, and how parasitism may interact with climate change to influence the properties of ecosystems. Third, Robert has long been exploring large-scale patterns of parasite biodiversity and biogeography, searching for the processes behind the diversification and distribution of parasites and diseases. Finally, Robert and his team are now turning toward the role of parasite microbiomes in shaping the host-parasite interaction. Robert was awarded Otago University’s Distinguished Research Medal in 2013, the Hutton Medal from the Royal Society of New Zealand in 2011 for outstanding contribution to animal sciences, the Wardle Medal from the Canadian Society of Zoologists in 2007 for outstanding contribution to parasitology, and was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 2001. Social Media Editor Dr. Thomas H. Cribb - University of Queensland, Australia Tom Cribb is at the School of Biological Sciences, The University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. His professional research career has focussed primarily on trematodes – first on those of Australian freshwater fishes, then on Australian mammals and, since the early 1990s, on those of marine fishes. The focus of the work is to describe the species, characterise their distributions, life cycles and host-specificity, and to explore evolutionary history. Fieldwork is concentrated on the Australian coast, especially the Great Barrier Reef, and further afield from South Africa to French Polynesia when the chance arises. Key collaborators include Rod Bray and Tim Littlewood of the Natural History Museum and Scott Cutmore at the University of Queensland. Prof. Richard J. Martin - Iowa State University, USA Richard is a pharmacologist and parasitologist interested in the modes of action and mechanisms of resistance to antiparasitic drugs. Richard holds the E. A. Benbrook Endowed Chair of Pathology and Parasitology at Iowa State University and is a Distinguished Professor. His current work focuses on the modes of action of emodepside, diethylcarbamazine and ivermectin. Prof. Juan T. Timi - Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata-CONICET, Argentina Juan is currently Professor of Invertebrate Biology, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina and Principal Researcher at the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET). His research is focused on taxonomy and ecology of fish parasites, mainly in community ecology and the use of parasites as indicators of host distribution and zoogeography. Emeritus Editor Prof. John W. Lewis - Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
John is currently an Emeritus Professor of Zoology (University of London Chair) based at Royal Holloway University of London and served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Helminthology from 1994 to 2016. He is an Honorary Member of the British Society for Parasitology and formerly Dean of Science at Royal Holloway and Head of the Centre for Environmental & Evolutionary Biology. John’s research interests include the : a) ecology and epidemiology of parasites in terrestrial and aquatic hosts with emphasis on structure, interactions and associations between component parasite communities, leading to public health implications of enteric and zoonotic infections in mammalian and human hosts b) development of mathematical models for assessing the inequality of infections in host populations c) influence of pollutant –induced stress and climate change on host-parasite interactions, including the thermodynamics of trematode parasites in endothermic hosts.
