Scope of Studies -- Parasitology

Dr. Joy’s publication record spans a period of 40 years. He has published papers in 28 different scientific journals on 16 different groups of parasitic and free-living organisms from protozoans through arthropods. More than 30 students have appeared as co-authors on these publications.

During this time frame, Dr. Joy has also presented numerous talks before lay and scientific audiences on subjects as diverse as forensic entomology,mosquito vectors of pathogenic agents, invasive species, and helminth and copepod-induced pathology in exothermic animals. The following is a sample of publications dealing with various groups of parasitic organisms.
