Project collab looks into presence of parasites in the Cagayan River

Abstract

To detect the presence of parasites in the aquatic species of the Cagayan River system that can potentially infect humans and negatively affect its fishery resources, a collaborative project between the University of Santo Tomas (UST) and the DA-National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (DA-NFRDI) is being implemented together with DA-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Region 2 and Dr. Misako Urabe of the University of Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
