About

James LaCourse is a Senior Lecturer at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in the UK. His research focuses on the genetic diversity and epidemiology of parasitic infections, particularly in relation to schistosomiasis and Strongyloides fuelleborni. Recent publications include studies on community-based surveys of urogenital schistosomiasis in Malawi and the molecular analyses of endoparasites in reptiles. He is also involved in population genetics and monitoring of freshwater snails, highlighting the interplay between human and animal health.
