His PhD research was on diagnosis and control of gastrointestinal nematodes on dairy cattle farms. From 1990-93 he worked as a parasitologist in a university collaboration research project in Malaysia on control of nematodes in small ruminants. In 1994 he worked as parasitology consultant in a USAID project on sheep production in Sumatra, Indonesia. From the end of 1994 he joined both the ITM and UGent to continue research of animal parasites. In 2000 he was appointed as lecturer veterinary helminthology at the ITM and as guest professor (20%) of tropical veterinary medicine at the UGent.
