PROJECTS

The group of the Sanitary Parasitology Unit of the University of Valencia (UPS-UV) has more than 34 years of experience in competitive research projects on vector-borne parasitic diseases, such as Fascioliasis, Schistosomiasis, Malaria, Leishmaniasis, American Trypanosomiasis or Chagas disease, among others, funded by international, national and regional institutions.

The group stands out for its consolidation as a research group of excellence, as evidenced by the award of four consecutive PROMETEO projects funded by the Generalitat Valenciana from 2012 to 2029.
