About
Stijn Casaert is a veterinary parasitologist whose research focuses on the diagnosis and control of gastrointestinal nematode infections in livestock, particularly cattle. His most notable contribution is the development and validation of an automated, multiplex-tandem PCR platform for detecting these infections, a breakthrough detailed in his highly cited 2017 study. This work, which has garnered 40 citations, represents a significant advancement over traditional diagnostic methods, offering rapid, high-throughput, and species-specific detection of multiple nematode species simultaneously. By enabling more accurate and efficient diagnosis, Casaert’s research directly supports targeted treatment strategies, reducing the overuse of anthelmintics and combating the growing threat of drug resistance in livestock parasites. His work is instrumental in bridging the gap between molecular diagnostics and practical veterinary medicine, providing tools that improve animal health and agricultural sustainability. Through this innovative platform, validated across Australian and European settings, Casaert has established himself as a key figure in the field of veterinary parasitology, with his findings informing both research and on-farm management practices worldwide.
