After a short-term employment as a research scientist at Scandinavian Biomedical Institute, 1988, dr. Michael Larsen was employed as a Research Assistant at the Laboratory for Parasitology, DVP, RVAU, 1988-1992. After receiving the Ian McMaster Post-doctoral Fellowship for 1992-93 he worked at CSIRO McMaster laboratory, Sydney, Australia. Since returning from Australia he has been working first as a Research Fellow, in 1995 appointed Senior Research Fellow and since 2000 he has been employed as an Associate Professor at DVP, RVAU. Dr. Michael Larsen has been ad hoc consultant for i.e. FAO on Biological Control projects in Brazil and Malaysia, as well as on other international projects (i.e. in Indonesia and Australia). He is recognized as a world-leading expert on integrated, sustainable parasite control with special emphasis on biological control of parasitic nematodes in livestock. He is author or co-author of more than 60 refereed journal articles, several technical reports and proceedings papers/abstracts. Dr. Larsen has a vast network of research collaborators, nationally and internationally. These include other Departments at KVL, the Danish Farmers Advisory Service (Skejby, DK), local veterinarians and farmers, University of Georgia (Athens, GA), Fort Valley State University (Fort Valley, GA), Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge, LA), University of New England (Armidale, NSW, Australia), University of Melbourne (Melbourne, Vic, Australia), Massey University & AgResearch (Palmerston North, New Zealand), Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire de Toulouse (Toulouse, France), Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Uppsala, Sweden), Moredun Research Institute (Edinburg, UK), Utrecht University (Utrecht, the Netherlands), Servicio de Investigación Agraria (Zaragoza Spain), Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte, Brazil), & National Agricultural Research Foundation (Thesaloniki, Greece). He has been supervising several national and international M.Sc and Ph.D students and is taking part in teaching undergraduate veterinary student in Parasitology, as well on courses for M.Sc students within the M.Sc education in Parasitology at KVL.
