Prof. Xi Bing Wen, Research Scientist

Experience

My research interests include fish parasite systematics, taxonomy, evolution and control in aquaculture, and the interaction between bacterial pathogens and fish hosts. I have ten years’ research and practical experience in freshwater fish (carps, tilapia, and catfish) disease diagnosis and control. I use traditional morphological and molecular methods to reveal underestimated fish parasite diversity, reveal the response of opportunistic bacterial pathogens to fish host stress, and screen medical plant extracts to control fish disease in aquaculture.

Projects

• Taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of the monozoic tapeworms (Eucestoda: Caryphyllidea) in China (Natural Sciences Foundation of China grant no. 31302222).
• Megalobrama amblycephala melanocortin receptors cloning and pharmacological analysis (Natural Sciences Foundation of China grant no. 31572662).
• Myxospore disease in gibel carp culture: species diversity and control measures (Natural Sciences Foundation of Jiangsu Province grant no. BK2011182).
• Response of opportunistic pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila to stress hormone of fish host: growth and virulence (Natural Sciences Foundation of Jiangsu Province grant no. SBK20170223921182).
