Suggestions for potential research cooperations:
Our research activities focus on the environmentally resistant oocyst form of the Toxoplasma parasite
Potential research cooperations:
- transport of the oocysts in soils and waters
- developement of detection methods targeting the toxo oocysts
- effects of disinfectants on the structure of the oocyst wall and oocyst infectivity
- robustness of the oocyst wall
- interactions between the oocyst and the host digestive tract
