Overview

Tine Huyse is affiliated with KU Leuven in Belgium and conducts research primarily in the fields of Environmental Science and Immunology and Microbiology. Their work engages deeply with subfields such as Ecology, Parasitology, Small Animals, Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, and Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health.

The scientist's research focuses extensively on topics related to parasite biology and host interactions, including helminth infection and control, global maternal and child health, and aquatic invertebrate ecology and behavior. Genetic diversity and population structure also represent areas of investigation within their body of work.

Among publications, a selection of recent papers illustrates the range and detail of their research interests:

  • "Population genetics of African Schistosoma species" (2021, Infection Genetics and Evolution)
  • "Acute Schistosomiasis With a Schistosoma mattheei × Schistosoma haematobium Hybrid Species in a Cluster of 34 Travelers Infected in South Africa" (2020, Clinical Infectious Diseases)
  • "Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding schistosomiasis infection and prevention: A mixed-methods study among endemic communities of western Uganda" (2022, PLoS neglected tropical diseases)
  • "Historical museum collections help detect parasite species jumps after tilapia introductions in the Congo Basin" (2020, Biological Invasions)
  • "Simultaneous genotyping of snails and infecting trematode parasites using high-throughput amplicon sequencing" (2021, Molecular Ecology Resources)

Tine Huyse frequently collaborates with other researchers. Notable co-authors include Ruben Schols, Maarten P. M. Vanhove, Cyril Hammoud, Tom Artois, and Fidel Muterezi Bukinga.

Regarding venues of publication, the scientist has contributed multiple times to outlets such as:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Parasites & Vectors
  • PLoS neglected tropical diseases
  • Citizen Science Theory and Practice
  • BMC Biology

The combination of research topics, frequent publication in venues focused on parasitology and ecology, and collaboration with specialists in related fields highlights a consistent focus on biological interactions between parasites and their hosts, epidemiology of infectious diseases, and the genetic and ecological factors influencing these dynamics.
