I wasn't interested in parasites until I was asked to be a teacher's assistant for a parasitology course, I hadn't taken the course; I was totally disgusted by the subject, But I became fascinated when we brought in fish, sharks and invertebrates for the students to dissect, As a marine biologist, I thought I knew pretty much everything about these organisms. Yet no one ever told me to look inside them for parasites. When we did, we found lots of species. It struck me that an entire component of my education had been neglected.
