  • 2025 - Research.com Animal Science and Veterinary in Czechia Leader Award

Overview

Milan Jirků is affiliated with the Czech Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic. Their research is primarily situated at the intersection of Medicine and Immunology and Microbiology, with a distinct focus on parasitology and infectious diseases. They have contributed to advancing knowledge in parasitic infections and diagnostics, amoebic infections and treatments, as well as parasitic infections in both humans and animals.

The scientist has engaged in investigations relating to gut microbiota and health, Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens research, and parasite biology and host interactions. This array of topics underlines a broad approach to understanding microbial and parasitic influences on health.

Recent significant publications include:

  • A cross-sectional survey of Blastocystis sp. and Dientamoeba fragilis in non-human primates and their caregivers in Czech zoos, 2024, One Health
  • A Cross-Sectional Study on the Occurrence of the Intestinal Protist, Dientamoeba fragilis, in the Gut-Healthy Volunteers and Their Animals, 2022, International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • Comparison of molecular diagnostic approaches for the detection and differentiation of the intestinal protist Blastocystis sp. in humans, 2022, Parasite
