FishProtLab at @BiologyCentre led by @IvanFiala7. We are fascinated by microscopic fish parasites, their evolution, ecology, molecular biology, and immunology.
Big congratulations to Katka and Eliška on defending their bachelor’s theses! So happy to see your hard work pay off — well done to both of you, and all the best for what comes next.
Published! 🎉Our long collaborative journey exploring Smolstatin, a cysteine protease inhibitor of the fish parasite Sphaerospora molnari, is now out in Current Research in Microbial Sciences! Many thanks to all co-authors sciencedirect.com/science/ar…@FishProtLab#SphaerosporaMolnari
Its cool to find myxozoans in the exhibition of the National Museum in Prague 🤩. Btw, see the running exhibition about Human evolution including the 3 million years old original exemplars of Lucy and Salem (Australopithecus afarensis). @narodnimuzeum
Amazing time at the International Conference on Diseases of Fish and Shellfish in Heraklion - fantastic talks & inspiring discussions. Big thanks and congrats to Astrid Holzer @fish_n_bugs for organising an excellent meeting.
We’re incredibly proud of our bachelor student, Žaneta Lešková, who received the Dean’s Award for her outstanding thesis on aquatic microsporidian diversity using an eDNA metabarcoding approach. Congratulations! @Prirodoveda_JU
The wait is over!!! Our Open Access book on Aquatic Parasitology was just published! 23 Chapters, 202 illustrations in 662 pages full of everything you ever wanted to know about the amazing world of marine & freshwater parasites. Download your copy here: link.springer.com/book/10.10…
Great time at the Czech traditional protistological conference 54th Protozoological Days—excellent talks, posters, and enthusiastic scientists, all set in beautiful nature by Lipno Reservoir.
Next year: Prague in a new format—can’t wait!

At the final seminar of the Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Science @JihoceskaUni, our two PhD students presented their research. Big thanks to Monika and Tamás for their excellent talks and for representing our lab so well!
Many thanks to the organizers of the 1st Meeting of the Central and Eastern European EAFP Branches. It’s great to be part of this wonderful family of fish parasitologists! 🐟
