Despite being small and inconspicuous, parasites can dramatically affect individual physiology and behaviour with profound consequences for health and industry including aquaculture. These effects are increasingly difficult to predict and manage as changing climates affect the growth, survivorship and virulence of many parasites. This Canada Research Chair Tier 2 in the Eco-Evolution of Host-Parasite Interactions aims to understand the effects of changing environmental and social conditions on how individuals acquire, manage and recover from parasite infection using fishes as model systems. This approach involves a combination of mathematical modelling, fieldwork and laboratory experiments in natural fish populations and in aquaculture.

尽管寄生虫很小，不显眼，但它可以显著影响个人的生理和行为，对健康和包括水产养殖在内的工业产生深远的影响。这些影响越来越难以预测和管理，因为气候变化会影响许多寄生虫的生长、存活和毒力。这加拿大研究主席Tier 2在宿主-寄生虫相互作用的生态进化的目的是了解不断变化的环境和社会条件对个人如何获得，管理和从寄生虫感染中恢复的影响，使用鱼类作为模型系统。这一方法包括在自然鱼类种群和水产养殖中结合数学建模、实地考察和实验室实验。
