This is a collaborative project between Eco-explore and the groups of Professor Joanne Cable from the School of Biosciences.

The project objectives are assessing how gyrodactylid parasites respond to multiple stressors (temperature and control treatment) and addressing fundamental questions about adaptation of fish pathogens to changing environment and identification of potential novel and effective parasite treatments in order to directly assist in the mitigation of losses in the wild, ornamental and food fish.
