Terrific @nanopore sequencing workshop at @AS_Para #CiP2023 course by @neily1101 @LucasHuggins3 @Kirsty_m_McCann and @DoctorBaz and @Dylan_Corner. Lots of bright green pores, sequencing never-seen-before parasite DNA – at Dunwich, Queensland
Had a great time presenting my work on root-knot nematode diagnostics at the #2023APPSAdelaide conference. A lot of really thought provoking presentations and posters at the conference.

Pratylenchus coffeae is a root-dwelling nematode that infects and causes severe damage to many species of crop plants.
🌱🌿
This study looked at the effects of this nematode on the Benthi, a plant commonly used in studies on plant-diseases

New #research from our group! Ten new species of #Transversotrema. A group of morphologically constrained #trematodes. Heaps of newly generated molecular data disentangles the taxonomy of the group.
Free link to read the paper for the next few days:

Day 3 of the PostGraduate workshop on Systematics took a different route today! The attendees were treated with visits to both the South Australian Museum and herbarium!
📢New Paper📢
Happy to share a #paper just #published, which includes the description of a #newspecies of gorgoderid #trematode infecting hawksbill #turtles 🐢 from Australia 🇦🇺. It's open access, so read more here! ⬇️

📢New Research📢 First chapter of the PhD done and published in @IJPara! Here we elucidated the intermediate hosts for nine species of marine #turtle #blood #flukes (#Spirorchiidae) infecting Australian #veremtid #gastropods
See more here ⬇️⬇️

📣 new paper! Pleased to share some new #research from my lab on the #lifecycles of Monorchiid #trematodes, showing that the group has an unexpected host switch from gastropods to bivalves. Check it out here! ⬇️ authors.elsevier.com/c/1dNDG…

*Likes long walks on the ocean floor* 🐙
Some biologists refer to octopuses as having six “arms” and two “legs”, because the two rear appendages are generally used to walk on the seafloor. #SealifeSaturday 🌊

For #Crustmas, a tiny orange amphipod in Puget Sound! Second photo shows the tip of a dry glove for scale.
Excited to share my latest #research and first first-author paper (with the description of three new species and a new genus).
Check it out! rdcu.be/b6fyM
Its #wormwednesday again! Here is a Plesiochorus cymbiformis from the bladder of a loggerhead!
Happy #WormWednesday everyone! Here is a #spirorchiid blood fluke, Learedius learedi, from a green sea turtle!

Have you tried this experiment? 🧪🔬
Have you ever tried to collect some random pond snails and expose them to the sunlight? You will be surprised how many parasites you will find. It is also a great activity for students during field trips 🏞
