Research interest
Starting with my Master (Lund, Sweden) and followed by my PhD (Vilnius, Lithuania) I have been studying avian haemosporidian parasites. Combining my different experiences (laboratory, histology and microscopy works), I am interested in the life cycle of these parasites, more explicitly in their exo-erythrocytic (tissue) stages development. I mainly focus on the study of Haemoproteus spp. parasites. I also have some experience in working with their vectors – biting midges.
