Currently, I am mainly researching parasites and parasitic diseases, especially in the tropics. I am interested in the exotic parasitic diseases Amphimeriasis, paragonimiasis, leishmaniasis, Chagas diseases, STH, and angiostrongyliasis, focusing on their description and epidemiology by using conventional and modern techniques. We are an interdisciplinary group with a lab that is well-equipped for teaching and research at Universidad de las Americas.
