Author Information
Ray Matthew Kaplan is a distinguished researcher in the field of infectious diseases, currently affiliated with the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Infectious Diseases, in Athens, GA, USA. His work primarily focuses on parasitology, with a particular interest in the mechanisms of anthelmintic resistance in nematodes that infect animals. This expertise is critical in addressing the challenges posed by drug resistance in parasitic infections, which have significant implications for animal health and agricultural economics.Research Contributions
Ray Matthew Kaplan has made substantial contributions to the understanding of anthelmintic resistance, particularly in gastrointestinal nematodes. His research involves exploring the genomic and transcriptomic profiles related to drug resistance, developing diagnostic tools such as allele-specific PCR for detecting resistance markers, and evaluating the economic impact of drug resistance in livestock production. His work on fenbendazole resistance in various parasites highlights the broader issue of drug resistance in veterinary medicine and its implications on production and animal welfare.Aliases
