Dr Rafael Toledo is a parasitologist with a research interest on host-parasite interactions, with emphasis on the immunological aspects of intestinal trematode infections.  He is currently Full Professor of Parasitology at the University of Valencia. He began working on trematode biology and systematics, with emphasis on echinostomes. During his post-doctoral stage at the University of Puerto Rico, he focused on immunological aspects of host-parasite interactions. Currently, his research is dedicated to the immunological interactions is the experimental model Echinostoma-rodent and other intestinal helminth infections.
