Research topics and activities at the lab include:
​​
-
Study of infectious diseases of parasitic, bacterial and viral origin and investigating different pathological manifestations of unknown origins. Study efforts are aimed at understanding the cause of the diseases and search for solutions
​
-
Development of natural, environmentally friendly treatments and natural immunostimulants that can replace the traditionally used antibiotics and chemicals
​
-
Consultancy to local aquaculture farms at the Negev and Arava region. This is done through disease diagnosis and farm visits. Through this activity we come across different manifestations, diseases and other health-related problems of local importance, which are occasionally investigated as part of our research activity.
Research efforts at our laboratory address various topics related to fish diseases and aquatic animal health. We work with a wide range of ornamental and food fish species, with emphasis on ornamental fish.
