报告人简介: 肖立华，美国疾病预防控制中心前研究员（资深科学家），2012年美国寄生虫学会杰出成就奖（Henry Baldwin Ward Medal）获得者。长期从事重要人兽共患寄生虫，如隐孢子虫、贾第虫、微孢子虫的分类、分子流行病学、环境生态学等研究，开展了许多基础性、原创性和系统性的研究，取得了一些在国际上有影响的独创性成果。目前致力于：

?   Investigates the molecular and genomic epidemiology of zoonotic parasites in humans and animals in the context of One Health.

?   Genotypes and subtypes waterborne and foodborne protozoan pathogens (Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Cyclospora, Microsporidia, Naegleria fowleri) in clinical and environmental samples.

?   Tracks sources and spread of protozoan parasites using advanced molecular detection tools.

?   Develops and manages CryptoNet–CDC's first molecular surveillance system for a parasite–a DNA sequence-based system for understanding U.S. transmission of cryptosporidiosis.
