In an article recently published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, scientists working in the field call for the establishment of an "international parasite project", which will include a concerted effort to discover, sample, document and research the world's parasites. According to the authors of the article, thanks to such a project it will be possible to reach a situation where half of the world's parasites will be known already in the next decade - instead of it taking decades or even hundreds of years.
Prof. Aryeh Tsavan, the president of the university, told Dr. Zaks in their conversation: "Through this degree, we wish to express the deep appreciation we have for each and every member of the dedicated and impressive team you lead, for your life-saving work, a work that brought deep hope to all the inhabitants of the world and a deep and special pride To all the citizens of Israel, who rightfully see you as one of our own"
