I am a Ph.D. student and a member of the Avian Parasites Working Group at the Department of Parasitology led by doc. Mgr. Milena Svobodová, Dr., Charles University. We focus on bird blood parasites and their vectors. I participate in field sampling, then trapping, determination, and dissection of insects. I specialize in determining mosquitoes and biting midges of Central Europe and detecting the parasites by PCR. My main focus was T. theileri trypanosomes and their vectors during my Master's studies. Except for detecting trypanosomes from bloodsucking insects, experimental infections in a laboratory were processed. Currently, I am focused on parasites in bloodsucking insects.
