Within the “One Health” perspective, this research group studies parasite diseases and infectious diseases that animals can transmit to humans.​

Our objectives include diagnosis and epidemiology of diseases such as those caused by Mycobacterium in wild fowl, along with severe virus infections and intestinal protozooses; the detection of resistance to antimicrobials and the risk such resistances present to human health: for instance, the presence of  E. coli in the Ebro River Waters, and the examination of natural alternatives to antibiotics in animal production. Moreover, within the current climate change situation, we study vectors (such as ticks) that transmit such diseases. This is an essential aspect of our group’s studies, which have proposed predictive models of the evolution and dispersion of such vectors, often basing ourselves on the use of artificial satellite data
