Dr Kjersti Selstad Utaaker is currently a researcher at the Parasitology Laboratory at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. Her PhD research involved protozoan parasites, their zoonotic potential, and their distribution in the environment and occurrence in selected animal species in a city in Northern India. A part of her study was to assess the occurrence and zoonotic potential of Giardia and Cryptosporidium in goats in this area.
Prof Lucy Robertson heads the parasitology lab at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, and was lucky enough to be Kjersti’s PhD supervisor. The lab research continues to focus on transmission routes for zoonotic parasites.
