Over ASP Parasite Podcast: What’s eating you?

What’s eating you? The parasite podcast for the Australian Society for Parasitology”. Join hosts Dr Sarah Preston from Federation University Australia (parasitic worm enthusiast who trains students on parasites, how they can cause disease and how to control infections), Lisa Jones, from the ASP and visiting comedian, the amazing Alexandra Hudson! Alexandra Hudson made her comedy debut in July 2020. In 2022 Alexandra was the national winner at the Raw Competition at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and has just returned from the UK where she made her 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut. Our “What’s eating you?” team will question, quiz, and grill our expert parasitologists from the ASP. Is it headlice, making your head itch? Or Cryptosporidium giving you a dodgy tummy? And was that a feral pig you noticed when hiking last weekend? Why do you take malaria medication as a preventative measure before travelling to some countries? Are there soil transmitted parasites in Australia? Can you really be eaten alive by bed bugs? Join us on our funny, informative, and always serious about science parasite podcast “What’s eating you?”. Releasing episodes once a month, at where ever you listen to your podcasts!

Episode 6. What’s eating you? Giardia

Our expert parasitologist is Professor Michelle Power from Macquarie University. Michelle is particularly interested in parasite epidemiology and zoonotic risks, like the transmission of disease agents from humans to wildlife species. Michelle studies many pathogens with an emphasis on gut parasites and bacteria, and the interactions of these with diverse hosts like flying foxes, possums, koalas, Tasmanian devils, penguins, Australian sea lions and people. Michelle engages in many outreach activities, her Citizen Science project, Scoop a Poop, in collaboration with Taronga Zoo and the University of Sydney, enabled people to contribute to the global fight against antibiotic resistance. For this story, Michelle will give us her expert opinion about Giardia parasites.
