Dr. Mourad Ben Said is an Associate Professor in Animal Biotechnology and an Associate Researcher in Molecular Microbiology and Parasitology at the University of Manouba, Tunisia. His research interests primarily focus on macro- and microparasites. He is dedicated to developing molecular diagnostic and genotyping methods aimed at improving the identification and genetic characterization of vectors and vector-borne pathogens (VBPs). Additionally, Dr. Ben Said conducts epidemiological and phylogenetic studies on various VBPs, including bacteria, protozoa, and viruses, to enhance the understanding of their dynamics and transmission. His work also involves contributing to the development of new, effective vaccines targeting both vectors and VBPs. In collaboration with several international institutions, Dr. Ben Said engages in projects related to metagenomics and phylogenetics of vector arthropods. He has authored over 140 publications in his field, demonstrating his commitment to advancing scientific knowledge. His scholarly contributions extend to his role as an invited editor for various journals, such as Frontiers in Veterinary Sciences, Frontiers in Parasitology, Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, Frontiers in Microbiology, Pathogens (MDPI), and Animals (MDPI). He is also a reviewer for approximately 60 international journals. Beyond his research activities, Dr. Ben Said supervises Master's and PhD students, guiding their investigations in molecular biology and the epidemiology of infectious diseases. With a strong commitment to advancing the field, he combines his expertise in biotechnology with a passion for education and research, making significant contributions to the understanding and management of health challenges associated with zoonotic diseases. |
