Biology and taxonomy of freshwater protozoans. Culture analyses.
Bioindicators
Ciliate ecology, taxonomy of ciliates, protozoans and micrometazoans in wastewater treatments. Development of techniques for EDARs management.
Protozoans in sanitary waters
Diagnoses, identification of protists occurring in building water networks. Development of techniques for parasite detection and organic pollution indicators.
Parasitology in fish with a commercial interest
The main goal is the study of various parasitoses caused both by metazoans and protozoans affecting several fish families involved in aquaculture.
