Research Area

My research focuses on the biological control agents and mechanism of vector-borne schistosomiasis japonica, immunodiagnosis of zoonotic pancreatic eurytrematosis, Praziquantel and Artemisinin-devivative antiparasitic drugs, medical vector insects, especially Anopheles stephensi mosquito and its interaction with

the model rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii.
