Overview

Roger K. Prichard is affiliated with McGill University in Canada and has conducted research primarily in the fields of Medicine, Immunology and Microbiology, and Environmental Science. Their work spans several subfields, including Infectious Diseases, Parasitology, Ecology, Insect Science, and Small Animals.

Their research focuses predominantly on parasitic diseases, parasite biology, host interactions, and helminth infection control. Specific topics addressed include parasitic diseases research and treatment, parasites and host interactions, parasite biology and host interactions, helminth infection and control, insect symbiosis and bacterial influences, insects and parasite interactions, and nematode management and characterization studies.

Notable recent publications include:

  • Macrocyclic lactone resistance in Dirofilaria immitis: risks for prevention of heartworm disease (2021), published in International Journal for Parasitology
  • Challenges and opportunities for the adoption of molecular diagnostics for anthelmintic resistance (2020), published in International Journal for Parasitology Drugs and Drug Resistance
