The Sanitary Parasitology Unit of the Universitat de València (UPSV), led by Principal Investigator M. D. Bargues, has more than 30 years of experience in competitive research projects funded by regional, national and international entities. Their research focuses on parasitic diseases transmitted by vectors, such as fascioliasis, schistosomiasis, malaria, leishmaniasis and American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease), among others.
The group has received three consecutive Prometeo projects, financed by the Valencian Government, from 2012 to 2024, demonstrating their commitment to excellence.
In 2021, Dr M. D. Bargues and the UPSV group, together with Dr M. Morales (Preventive Medicine and Public Health Unit of the Universitat de València), Dr C.
