HOST–PARASITE CO–EVOLUTION

Arms race between host and parasites is intense in nature. Animals have co-evolved with parasites and pathogens for millions of years. Microbiome may also play an important role in this host-parasite interaction. In our lab, we study the co-evolution between host, parasites, and microbiome.
