In 2019, he was appointed as an Assistant Professor at the Leishmaniasis Research Center, where he continues to conduct research and teach medical parasitology. Throughout his career, Dr. Bamorovat has been involved in numerous research endeavors, publishing over 79 research articles and participating in about 54 research projects. His expertise and contributions have earned him recognition, including being named the premier researcher in the Kerman province and at the Kerman University of Medical Sciences. He is committed to advancing the field of medical parasitology through his research, teaching, and academic leadership.

Research Interest:

Anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis: Dr. Bamorovat investigates the risk factors associated with anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis, particularly in unresponsive and responsive patients. This includes studying the epidemiology, transmission dynamics, and clinical manifestations of the disease to develop effective control strategies.

Veterinary parasitology: His research also extends to veterinary parasitology, where he examines parasitic infections affecting animals, particularly livestock. This may involve evaluating the pathogenesis, host-parasite interactions, and diagnostic methods for parasitic diseases in animals.

Epidemiology and control of parasitic infections: Dr. Bamorovat explores the epidemiological factors contributing to the spread of parasitic infections, as well as the development and implementation of control measures. This includes assessing the efficacy of existing interventions and identifying novel approaches for parasite control and prevention.

Host immune responses to parasitic infections: He investigates the immunological mechanisms underlying host-parasite interactions, including the immune response mounted against parasitic invaders. Understanding the host immune response is crucial for developing vaccines and immunotherapeutic strategies against parasitic diseases.

Zoonotic parasitic diseases: Dr. Bamorovat is interested in zoonotic parasitic infections, which are transmitted between animals and humans. He studies the transmission dynamics, reservoir hosts, and risk factors associated with zoonotic parasites to mitigate their impact on human and animal health.
