Associate Professor Ryan O'Handley
Associate Professor/Reader
School of Animal and Veterinary Science
Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology
I am a founding member of the Parasitic Diseases Research Group (ParaDRG) at the University of Adelaide. My research interests and expertise is focused on the biology and control of parasitic diseases. I am specifically interested in the development of vaccines and novel drugs to control parasitic diseases in livestock and companion animals. My current research is targeted to apicomplexam parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii and eneteric coccidia, but I am also interested in Giardiasis, gastrointestinal nematodes and canine heartworm.
I also have a keen interest in parasite diagnostics and lead the Parasitology section of the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences.

Parasitology, VET SCI 3515RW / ANSCI 3515RW (course coordinator 2010-Present)
This course is a core component of the Veterinary Bioscience degree and the DVM degree and a elective in the Animal Science degree. Lectures focus on concepts of parasitology and parasitism, parasite life cycles, and the pathogenesis of parasitic disease. Practicals focus on clinical diagnosis of parasitism and students work independently. Small group learning, critical thinking, and problem solving skills are a major component of the practicals.
Pathology and Diagnostic Services A and B, VET SCI 7304ARW
Postgraduate rotation as part of the DVM program. The parasitology component involves students performing diagnoses on actual parasitology cases and forces them to consider clinical outcomes, treatment, and control measures. Small group teaching.
