The Laboratory of Veterinary Parasitology is committed to the clinical diagnosis and consulting of parasitic diseases of pets and livestock animals of Korea, as well as teaching veterinary students on parasitology. Particular interest of research is focused on the dirofilariasis of dogs and cats, zoonotic parasites, and wild animal diseases.
Main Research Interests
- 1. Application of molecular and immunological methods to epidemiological studies and analysis of causative agents of infectious diseases of animals
- 2. Development of rapid and accurate diagnostic methods by application of molecular and serological methods
- 3. Application of modern vaccine technology to prevent infectious diseases that cause economic problems
- 4. Research on molecular immunology to enhance the immune response of vaccines by activation of host immune system
