Carried out extensive Helminthological and Limnological studies on Wular Lake, while working as a Research Fellow in a D.O. En. Sponsored Research Project on ―Fish Conservation in Wular Lake‖, which was successfully completed in 1990. Later, carried out studies on the Microbial and Helminth Parasites of Fishes of Wular lake with their Pathology and Seasonal incidence. In addition, Haematological Studies of some Helminth Infected Fishes of Wular Lake was also conducted. 2. Worked on Nowgam Wetland – Ecology, Management and Helminthology aspects. Studied the effect of various human and natural factors on the wetland and also the adverse effects of these changes on the fauna of this wetland. Three new species to Science were described and nine other species with new locality records were recorded. 3. Studied the Taxonomy and Histomorphology of Trematode and Cestode parasites infecting fresh water fish in Kashmir and prepared an up to date host-parasite list giving distribution of these parasites. 61 helminth species including nine new species and the rest being new locality/ host records were described. 4. Conducted Histo-pathological studies of Cestode Parasites infecting fresh water Fishes of Kashmir. The study being the first of its kind in the Valley. 5. Conducted studies on the Pathogenic Parasites of Fishes of River Jhelum, and their influence on the decline of the Indigenous Fish – Schizothorax. Worked on the Determinants of rich helminth parasitic communities in native fish species in comparison to poor helminth communities in exotic fish species from Jhelum. 6. Surveyed the Gastrointestinal Pathogenic Helminth Parasites in Ruminants of Kashmir valley, with detailed study on Histopathology, Immunology, Biochemical Pathology and Prophylaxis of Helminthiasis. 7. Studied the factors responsible for decline of native freshwater fish Schizothorax in Kashmir waters with special reference to Limnology, Pathology and Pollution. 8. Conducted Histopathological and Serological Studies of helminth infections in fishes of some lakes of Kashmir. Life Cycle and Electron Microscope Studies of some Helminth Fish Parasites of Kashmir Valley were conducted for the 1st time in valley. 9. Studied the Prevalence and Pathology of Gastro-intestinal Helminths in the Children of Kashmir 3 2019 CURRICULUM VITAE Valley, the risk factors and their effects on Nutritional Status of these Children. Possible preventive measures have been suggested and the recommendations formulated. On the basis of these observations, a book has been published and distributed free of cost among schools for the benefit of children. 10. Carried out study on the Epidemiology of GIT helminth parasites in small ruminants of Kashmir Valley alongwith their Control by Indigenous herbal Anthelmintics. In addition studied Histochemistry of Paramphistomes of Sheep and Cattle. Epidemiology of Dicrocoeliasis and Fascioliasis in Ruminants along with their Histopathology was also carried out. 11. Studied Protozoan and Nematode Parasites of some Economically important insects of Kashmir Valley 12. Conducted comparative study of prevalence of Cryptosporodiasis in Bovines and Humans in Kashmir for the first time in Kashmir. 13. Epidemiological and Hemato-Biochemical Studies of Gastrointestinal Helminth infection in the Children of Kashmir Valley 14. Microbial and Helminth parasites of fish with pathology and seasonality. 15. Gastrointestinal Helminth Fauna in Ruminants of J&K State with emphasis on Prophylaxis. 16. Biodiversity of Parasitofauna in Fishes of Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh. 17. Helminth Parasites of Bovines and Bubalines of Kashmir with special emphasis on Epidemiology, Morphology and Histopathology 18. Epidemiology, Haematology, Histopathology and Blood Biochemistry of Helminth Infected Fishes of Shallabugh Wetland and River Sindh in Kashmir 19. Karyotyping and Molecular Characterization of Helminth Parasites. 20. Epideimiological and Proteomic Study of Haemonchus controtus and Ostartagia ostertagae infecting sheep of Kashmir Valley. 21. Epideomology of Gastrointestinal Protozoan parasites among Children in District Anantnag 22. Purification of Proteins from major Cestode Parasites from Schizithoracine Fishes from water bodies of Kulgam 23. Presently am working on: i) Blood Parasites of Animals ii) Development and Characterization of Albumin Nanoparticles Encapculating First Line Anti TB Drug iii) Helminth Parasite Dynamics of some Vertebrates of Gurez iv) Epidemiological, Histopathological and Haematobiochemical studies of Coccidiosis in Domestic Duck MEDALS 1. ―University Gold Medal‖ for securing Ist.
