Rachel Krause

Rachel Krause is an Associate Professor of Biology at Canadian Mennonite University. She holds a Ph.D. in Parasitology from McGill University (2015), an M.Sc. in Biology from Concordia University (2009), and a B.Sc. in Environmental Sciences from the University of British Columbia (2006). Her research bridges ecology, parasitology, and global health, examining parasite impacts on wildlife and humans.

Krause investigates ecological stressors like pollution and parasitic infections in fish, notably studying the threatened Carmine Shiner in Manitoba. Her global health work focuses on malnutrition and intestinal parasites in rural Panama, collaborating with the University of Panama's Laboratorio de Investigaciones en Parasitología Ambiental.

Her publications reveal a consistent focus on parasitology, food security, and environmental health. Recent articles analyze agricultural interventions, soil-transmitted helminths, and biological control of parasites, emphasizing interdisciplinary solutions for subsistence communities.
