Prof. Laura Kramer currently spends all of her professional time in the teaching and research of Veterinary Parasitology at the University of Parma Veterinary School.
Prof. Laura Kramer began her experience in Veterinary Parasitology in 1996 as a study grant recipient for a project involving the local immune response to sarcoptic mange infection in swine. Her backround in veterinary pathology and her experience with immunohistochemical/ultrastructural studies of dendritic cells in various animal species lead to an interest in host-parasite relationships and parasite immunology.
Starting in 1998, collaboration with colleagues at the University of Milan on canine and feline heartworm disease lead to the participation in several research projects (national and European) on the epidemiology and immune response to filarial infection and the role of bacterial endosymbionts in the biology of filarial nematodes. This lead to the development and clinical evaluation of alternative adulticide protocols for canine heartworm disease.
Prof. Kramer began to cultivate an interest in vector-borne, and in particular, tick-borne diseases following a final year thesis project entitled “B. burgdoferi in Ixodes sp. in northern Italy. She was Associate Investigator on a national Ministry of research-funded project entitled “An in vitro model for the evaluation of ABC Transporter proteins in the development of acaricide resistant in ticks” (PRIN 2011-2013).
