They’re the size of an apple 🍎 seed, yet this bite-sized problem costs AU's ag industry approx. $160 million per year. Now thanks to a new grant, MU researchers 👩🔬 will investigate ticks to limit them wreaking havoc on WA's cattle indus. loom.ly/gYGxZbE

Great collab - fun writing it over lunch - looking forward to the big study to be published too! 🕷️🐍
So I got bitten by many ticks over my PhD, turns out one of them was a reptile-specific species. We published this record and a quick review of parasitism in this tick species @siobhon_egan @DrCharOskam sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Great collaboration between @cryptick_lab and @sydneyrats!
Led by my PhD student @siobhon_egan we combined microscopy with NGS to uncover the diversity of blood-borne #parasites within native and introduced Australian #wildlife. #ticks #biodiversity #openaccess #crpvbd @crpvbd
New in @CRPVBD
The first large-scale survey of blood parasites in animals at the urban-wildland interface in Australia using molecular tools.

Great collaboration to study haemoparasites in Tasmanian devils! Multiple Trypanosoma circulate in devils. Expanding distributions in Australia, and even diversity of these parasites! @cryptick_lab @siobhon_egan @DrCharOskam @comte_seb @davidghamilton1
@siobhon_egan has done it again! This time identifying #parasites #Trypanosoma and #Babesia species in #TasmanianDevils for the first time. Great collaboration between @MUniResearch and @UTAS_ #tassiedevils Read it here doi.org/10.3390/pathogens911…

Ever wonder what parasites Tasmanian devils are harbouring? Find out here!

Parasite communities are an important consideration in species management, particularly in devils which have additional health concerns (DFTD)
