In collaborazione con Claudio Bandi (docente di Malattie Parassitarie presso l’Università degli Studi di Milano), nel corso degli ultimi vent’anni, ha svolto le proprie ricerche su parassiti responsabili di patologie neglette (tra cui i nematodi filaridi), o coinvolti come vettori nella trasmissione della malaria (le zanzare del genere Anopheles).
Il loro lavoro si è concretizzato nei primi studi sperimentali sul controllo delle filariosi attraverso trattamenti ‘antisimbiotici’, contribuendo allo sviluppo strategie di controllo che integrano e affiancano quelle basate sull’ivermectina.
