Department:  Faculty of Veterinary Science, Department of Parasitology

Position:  Assistant Professor

HEC Approved Supervisor:  YES

Research Intersts:  My research interests are 1) molecular surveillance and immunological control of various parasitic diseases of veterinary and public health significance, 2) molecular identification of arthropods and arthropod-borne parasites, 3) Phylogenetic analysis of various new parasite species or genotypes, 4) host-parasite interaction and gene silencing. I plan to continue studies on the identification and genotyping of various water-borne parasites.
