Preliminary Topic: Sarcocystis spp. isolation of sarcocysts by Percoll gradient
Short Description of the Internship Work: Rare Sarcocystis infections or extremely small cysts are often missed using traditional microscopy techniques. For this reason, there is a need for efficient, inexpensive and fast methods that allow the isolation of sarcocysts from meat and their detailed morphological analysis. Anticipated studies will include crushing of muscle tissue, searching for sarcocysts and their morphological analysis in order to better understand the characteristics of these parasites and improve diagnostic accuracy.
Qualification Requirements (Degree): BSc
Application Deadline: 2024-12-31
Additional Comments: The internship is offered to a future 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate student.
