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.
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:

📢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 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…

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!
Good ole bucephalids... always doing something weird
Prosorhynchoides borealis is going all out - using clams to make twin-tailed fluke larvae that swim out to infect cod, which then gets eaten by angler fishes - the final hosts for this parasite.
This fluke totally wildin out in the North Atlantic Ocean.
