PCI Infections information page
Empirical population genetics, tool development and applications in natural populations, in particular host parasite systems
- Training course in empirical population genetics, go to "Teaching" page.
- Theoretical population genetics of clonal organisms.
- The population genetics of kinetoplastid parasites (leishmania, trypanosomes) and their vectors (sand flies, tsetse flies)- Study of adaptive diversity maintenance: theoretical (analyticalal modelling and simulations), experimental and field studies on a host parasite system (copepods parasitic on flatfishes),
The adult parasites females and males of the two species
Lepeophtheirus thompsoni (left) and L. europaensis (right) followed by
Nauplius 1 hatching, Nauplius 2 and copepodite (infective
stage) stages

The hosts: the turbot (for L. thompsoni) and the brill and the fllounder (for L. europaensis)

- Population biology inferences using molecular
marquers variability and particularly in hoste/parasite systems:
Theoretical approaches (tools development, in particular for the study
of clonality) and application to différents systems
(mussels,
schistosomes-rats-mollusks in Guadeloupe, opportunistic yeasts,
cestodes, ticks-Borrelia, glossins, trypanosomes, Leishmania).
