Her research

is a recent graduate of SUNY Oneonta and continues to work as a volunteer in the lab. Her focus is on trematodes. She initially worked on species of Azygia that are found in the stomachs of chain pickerel, Yellow perch, and other Otsego Lake fishes. More recently, Sisina discovered what appears to be a new species of Azygia in the stomach of Rock bass. Her current project is to verify that this species is unique, and to describe it.
