Parasitism and Parasitic Control in Animals

Hafiz Muhammad Rizwan (Edited By) Hafiz Muhammad Rizwan has secured a well-recognized position in the field of Biology/ Parasitology in both the national and international scientific arenas. He conducted his M.Phil. research on sero-epidemiology of goat fascioliasis through ELISA by using ES antigens, and Ph.D. research on association of trace mineral profile with the GI helminthiasis in grazing sheep. He has worked as a Research Associate across various projects encompassing phytotherapy, arthropod functional genomics, and screening livestock through conventional and immunodiagnostic methods. Muhammad Sohail Sajid (Edited By) Muhammad Sohail Sajid completed his F.Sc. (pre-medical) from Govt. Emerson College, Multan and secured silver medal in his DVM degree (2002) from the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (UAF), Pakistan. He was appointed as Lecturer in the Department of Parasitology, UAF in 2003, and completed his M.Sc. (Hons.) Parasitology in 2004 and Ph.D. Parasitology in 2007. In 2010, he undertook a post-doc fellowship from the University of Southern Mississippi, USA, funded by the HEC. Through Pak-US S & T Cooperation, he established the Molecular Parasitology Laboratory in UAF. In research, he has mentored many masters and doctorate students, published national and international research papers in peer reviewed journals, as well as written a textbook, two practical manuals, 4 book chapters, numerous abstracts in national and international conference proceedings, as well as 80 extension articles in the national and international press. He has served as Section Editor of the UAF's official Journal "PJAS" (IF-0.690), authored the guidelines "Institutional Animal Care and Use" at UAF, and developed curriculum of Masters of "Climate Change" and "Epidemiology and Public Health". Currently, he is in charge of the One Health Lab., CAS-AFS, as well as Chairman of the Department of Parasitology, UAF. He is a Fulbright Alumnus and was a Visiting Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine and Epidemiology, University of California, Davis, USA from 2019-20. His area of interest is molecular epidemiology and control of arthropods and arthropod-borne diseases of livestock and public health significance.
