Cooperating partners

Marine Parasitology requires cooperating partners from all parts of the world. The Marine Parasitology Group is consequently cooperating with research scientists and university staff from all around the world. A long going cooperation is with the Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. We are interested to study marine fish parasites from commercially important fish from the Red Sea. First data show a high species diversity in the Red Sea region. The contact address is given below.
