Jordi Figuerola Borras: Scientific Tenure at Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC). His research activities in recent years has focused on studying the mechanisms that promote and/or restrict local and long distance dispersal of plants, invertebrates and pathogens by waterfowl. Work with parasites has focused on different groups of blood parasites and pathogens, mainly Protozoa blood and West Nile virus and Influenza in wild birds. He has published over 80 articles in journals covered by SCI, 19 popular science articles, 12 book chapters and 1 book (see http://www.ebd.csic.es/jordi). Since 2006 he had been project leader of 9 projects on West Nile virus, Influenza and dispersal of toxic algae by waterfowl.
