Research profile: general description:

The research are conducted on the biology, morphology and ultrastructure of blood parasites as Trypanosoma, Babesia, Hepatozoon and Bartonella in wild mammals, as well as the biology of ticks and fleas as the transmitters of these pathogens. The role of small rodents and ticks as a reservoir and transmitters of human and domestic zoonoses is important. Due to that the structure of outbreaks of transmission diseases and the relationships between small rodents and ticks is studied.

The Department also conducts research on the parasitological consequences of biological invasions on the example of bipedal crustacean parasites and goby family fish. The comparative analysis of the development cycles and ultrastructure of microsporidias parasitic in bipedal crustaceans (Gammaridae) is also examined.

Based on the specific molecular markers diagnostic tests are developed. This tests are helpfull to determine the species identification of parasites located in host tissues, regardless of the their developmental forms. These tests are also used in the identification of insect parasites, molluscs, terrestrial crustaceans and free living mammals. Additionally, adult and larval forms of tapeworms and nematodes, Antarctic vertebrate parasites are of particular interest. The study using molecular biology methods shed new light on the current systematics and biology of Antarctic parasites.

Extensive ultrastructural and cytochemical studies of embryogenesis of flukes (Trematoda) and tapeworms (Cestoda), their post-embryonic development and ultrastructure of invasive larval stages are also been conducted. In parallel, molecular studies of these parasitic flatworms are carried out to analyze their phylogeny, evolution and systematics.

Research profile: general description:

Research is carried out on the parasites of free-living and domestic animals, their spread, morphology, systematics, diagnosistics and biology, as well as on parasitic diseases caused by them, their epizootiology, pathology and treatment. The potential risk of infection for humans and animals, as well as the pathways of parasite transmission are also assessed.

The protozoa of the Sarcocystidae family are of particular interest: Neospora caninum, Toxoplasma gondii, Sarcocystis spp., Trichinella nematodes, gastrointestinal nematodes of the Trichostrongylidae family (including blood-bearing Ashworthius sidemi), lung nematodes of the Protostrongylidae, tissue nematodes from the subfamily Onchocercinae and flukes in the family Fasciolidae (Parafasciolopsis fasciolaemorpha and Fascioloides magna).

Genotyping of parasite isolates obtained from various hosts based on selected nucleotide sequences is of great importance for the conducted research. It is possible to show possible phylogenetic differences between isolates obtained from various hosts from Poland and isolates from other countries and to compare the obtained results with the sequences deposited in GenBank.

An important research scope is the searching for potential markers for the the parasite diagnosis and immunoprotection against the infection of Trichinella nematodes in humans. Native and recombinant parasite proteins are used.

Research profile: general description:

Topics related to the interaction between the parasite and host are examined: biochemical, immunological and molecular processes occurring in the parasite-host system, disease processes caused by the parasite and host defense responses. The research is carried out in two systems: entomopathogenic fungus (Conidiobolus coronatus) - insect and parasitic flatworm (Fasciola hepatica) - mammal.

Entomopathogenic fungi producing mycotoxins are of particular interest as a potential source of a new generation of insecticides. Due to that , the mechanisms of insect paralysis and their defensive reactions are examined in the Conidiobolus coronatus - insect research system. Identification and determination of the role of fungal metabolites in impaired functioning of the insect's immune system is of great importance. Demonstration of the presence of many substances produced by C. coronatus such as benzyl alcohol, octanoic acid, dodacanol, caprylic acid, harmine, nor-harmine, which participation in the infection has not been known so far, gives new research possibilities.

In the experimental system of Fasciola hepatica - mammal, studies are conducted on the immunoprevention of infection using native and recombinant proteins. The immunomodulatory properties of parasite proteins in interaction with mammalian macrophages, determining the effect of intestinal epithelial cells and their interaction with antigen presenting cells (APC) on induction of local immune response during parasitic invasion are also studied. Recent studies on the immunomodulatory properties of flatworm proteins (F. hepatica, Hymenolepis diminuta) indicate that they can be used to directly manipulate immune processes in the autoimmune diseases.



Main research areas:

  1. Molecular basis of immunoprevention of parasitic infection (Head: prof. dr hab. Halina Wędrychowicz; Staff: dr hab. Daniel Młocicki, dr Katarzyna Basałaj, dr Anna Zawistowska-Deniziak, dr Agnieszka Wesołowska, MSc Alicja Kalinowska, MSc Przemysław Wilkowski)
  2. Mechanisms of entomopathogenic fungi 's impact on insects (Head: prof. dr hab. Mieczysława Boguś; staff: dr Michalina Kazek, dr Emilia Włóka, dr Anna Wrońska, dr Agata Kaczmarek)

Current research activities:

  • The effect of infection with the entomopathogenic fungus Conidiobolus coronatus and the topical administration of its two metabolites (harman and norharman) on the level of selected markers of inflammation in the hemolymph of Galleria mellonella larvae (head: prof. dr hab. Mieczysława Boguś);
  • Immunoprevention of helminth infection (head: prof. dr hab. Halian Wędrychowicz);
  • Cloning and expression of helminth parasite proteins (head: prof. dr hab. Halina Wędrychowicz).
