Overview

Richard C. Tinsley is affiliated with the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom. Their research focuses on parasite biology, helminth infection and control, and host-parasite interactions, with publications primarily in the fields of ecology, parasitology, and studies involving small animals.

Recent research contributions include:

  • Ultrastructural observations on the oncomiracidium epidermis and adult tegument of Discocotyle sagittata, a monogenean gill parasite of salmonids (2021, Parasitology Research)
  • The impact of helminth infection in fish farms on wild trout populations: host immune regulation of disease risk (2025, Parasitology)

These works address aspects of parasite morphology, host immune responses, and disease dynamics in aquatic environments.

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Richard C. Tinsley include:

  • Mohamed Mohamed El-Naggar
  • Jo Cable
  • A. Carey
  • Miguel Rubio

Their publications appear in venues such as:

  • Parasitology Research
  • Parasitology

Main research topics that characterize their work are:

  • Parasite Biology and Host Interactions
