Biology of Foodborne Parasites (PDF)

Lihua Xiao received his veterinary education in China and his PhD and postdoctoral training in parasitology in the United States. He joined the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 1993, first as a guest researcher and then as a senior staff fellow. He is currently a senior scientist in the Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, CDC, Atlanta, Georgia. His earlier research interests were mostly in the immunopathogenesis of malaria and HIV. For the last 20 years, he has focused mostly on the diagnosis, molecular epidemiology, comparative genomics, and ecology of foodborne, waterborne, and zoonotic parasites and is mostly noted for his work on the genus Cryptosporidium. He has published over 300 original papers and invited reviews and book chapters, has edited several books and special publications, and is an editorial board member of several prominent journals in microbiology and parasitology. He holds adjunct faculty positions at Cornell University, Murdoch University, and East China University of Science and Technology. He was the 2012 recipient of the Henry Baldwin Ward Medal from the American Society of Parasitologists.

Una Ryan received her undergraduate degree in zoology from University College Dublin in Ireland in 1988 and her PhD in parasitology from Murdoch University in Western Australia in 1996. She worked at Murdoch University as a research fellow and became a tenured member of staff in 2001. She is currently professor in biochemistry in the School of Veterinary and Life Sciences at Murdoch University. Her research has focused on the molecular detection and characterization of waterborne and bloodborne parasites, particularly Cryptosporidium. She has published over 200 original papers and invited reviews and book chapters and is a specialist editor for Experimental Parasitology. In 2000, she was a
