Cycle PhD XXXIV
PhD project: "Bioecological and morphological studies of Hippoboscid flies of genus Lipoptena, ectoparasites of wild ungulates, with special reference to L. fortisetosa, a new record for Italy"
My PhD focuses on the study of ectoparasites belonging to the Hippoboscidae family (Diptera) infesting Ungulates. In particular, the research aims at investigating the morphology they evolved during the adaptation process, and the relationship they established with their hosts, including the host location. Another important purpose is the research in these flies of pathogens potentially harmful for the human health.
