Digenetic Trematodes

Dr Rafael Toledo is a parasitologist with a research interest on host-parasite interactions, with emphasis on the immunological aspects of intestinal trematode infections. He is currently Full Professor of Parasitology at the University of Valencia. He began working on trematode biology and systematics, with emphasis on echinostomes. During his post-doctoral stage at the University of Puerto Rico, he focused on immunological aspects of host-parasite interactions. Currently, his research is dedicated to the immunological interactions is the experimental model Echinostoma-rodent and other intestinal helminth infections. He has written and/or edited more than 150 works including original research articles in peer-reviewed journals, reviews, book chapters, and books.

Dr Bernard Fried+ was Kreider Professor Emeritus at Lafayette College, USA. He was the author or coauthor of more than 500 scientific publications, including articles, reviews, books, and book chapters. He received a Ph.D in Zoology (Parasitology) from the University of Connecticut in 1961 and was an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow in Parasitology at Emory University in Atlanta, GA from 1961 to 1963. He was Professor of Biology at Lafayette College from 1963 to 2000 and his research was focused in the biology of helminths and gastropods and applications of TLC to the biological sciences.

Dr Rafael Toledo是一位寄生蟲學家，他的研究興趣是宿主-寄生蟲相互作用，尤其關注腸道吸蟲感染的免疫學方面。他目前是瓦倫西亞大學的寄生蟲學教授。他開始研究吸蟲的生物學和系統學，尤其關注棘吸蟲。在波多黎各大學的博士後階段，他專注於宿主-寄生蟲相互作用的免疫學方面。目前，他的研究致力於免疫學相互作用，包括實驗模型Echinostoma-齧齒動物和其他腸道蠕蟲感染。他已經撰寫和/或編輯了150多篇作品，包括同行評審期刊的原始研究文章、評論、專書章節和書籍。

Dr Bernard Fried是美國拉法葉學院的Kreider名譽教授。他是500多篇科學出版物的作者或合著者，包括文章、評論、書籍和書籍章節。他於1961年在康涅狄格大學獲得動物學（寄生蟲學）博士學位，並於1961年至1963年在亞特蘭大的埃默里大學擔任NIH寄生蟲學博士後研究員。他在拉法葉學院擔任生物學教授，研究重點是蠕蟲和腹足類動物的生物學以及薄層層析法在生物科學中的應用。
