Professor Michelle Power is from Macquarie University and is particularly interested in parasite epidemiology and zoonotic risks, like the transmission of disease agents from humans to wildlife species. Michelle studies many pathogens with an emphasis on gut parasites and bacteria, and the interactions of these with diverse hosts like flying foxes, possums, koalas, Tasmanian devils, penguins, Australian sea lions and people. Michelle engages in many outreach activities, her Citizen Science project, Scoop a Poop, in collaboration with Taronga Zoo and the University of Sydney, enabled people to contribute to the global fight against antibiotic resistance.
For this story, Michelle will give us her expert opinion about Giardia parasites.
