Di Barton
I am a parasitologist with an interest in the parasites of Australian wildlife - both native and feral, terrestrial and aquatic. My initial training was in parasite systematics and I have described, identified and named a number of species of parasites from a range of host groups. I also utilise parasites to provide information on their host, including in areas of fisheries management.
