Halmos Faculty Named to Comparative Parasitology Editorial Board

Christopher Blanar, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences and the Guy Harvey Oceanographic Research Center (HCAS), has been named to the Editorial Board of Comparative Parasitology, which is the journal published by the Helminthological Society of Washington. This is a highly specialized journal covering such topics as parasite diversity surveys, species descriptions, and phylogenetic analyses that other journals are less equipped to publish.

Blanar’ s research interests include parasitism in coastal habitats, parasites and migratory behavior in Everglades fishes, biocontrol of parasitic nematodes using engineered bacteria, and parasite community ecology.
