Summary
I am a retired specialist (morphologist/taxonomist), with 40 years of experience and more than 300 publications, on the systematics of helminth parasites (all groups but especially the Trematoda and Nematoda), with a particular interest in those from fishes and aquatic mammals. I also have some expertise with data-bases and faunistics.
