About

Vito Colella is a Lecturer and McKenzie Research Fellow at The University of Melbourne, Australia. His research focuses on zoonotic diseases and vector-borne pathogens, with recent publications emphasizing genetic characterization and surveillance of various parasitic infections in animals. His work employs advanced techniques such as nanopore metabarcoding and quantitative PCR to explore the epidemiology of these pathogens in diverse settings, including Cambodia, the USA, Sri Lanka, Angola, and Costa Rica.
