Juan Antonio Raga Esteve

Juan Antonio Raga Esteve is a Professor in the Department of Zoology at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Valencia, Spain. He is affiliated with the Cavanilles Institute of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology (ICBBE) and a key member of the ZOOMAR (Marine Zoology) research group, where his work focuses on marine organisms, particularly cetaceans and their parasitic relationships.

His research interests lie at the intersection of marine biology and parasitology, with a long-standing focus on the ecological and evolutionary aspects of host-parasite interactions in marine mammals. His foundational work includes a doctoral thesis on parasitism and other associations in cetaceans of the Iberian Peninsula, completed in 1986 at the University of Valencia under the supervision of Dr. Enrique Carbonell Baldoví.

The trends in his research, though specific publications are not listed, consistently center around marine zoology, biodiversity, and parasitic ecology, indicating a sustained and specialized academic trajectory in marine life sciences.
