He wrote an independent note (2014: Protozoology) and is the first author of another note (2004: Zoology). He has published his research results in more than 140 technical articles, most of which he is the first or last author of. Its combined impact factor exceeds 330 and it had 300 co-authors from around 30 countries. In recognition of his PhD research work, he received the Szent-Iv\u00e1ny Youth Award in 1999. In 2014, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences awarded him the Bolyai plaque for the outstanding quality of his postdoctoral research. In the book &#8220;Ticks of Europe and North Africa&#8221; published by Springer in 2017, he wrote five chapters (tick characterization), including the one about the tick species Ixodes ariadnae, which he discovered and described.<\/p> <p><strong>Main research areas:<\/strong><\/p> <ul> <li>Parasitic ailments of domestic and wild animals (mainly ruminants, predators, birds, bats), their traditional, molecular biological and serological diagnostics.<\/li> <li>Ecological study of arthropod vectors (e.g. ticks, ticks, fleas, lice) and the epidemiology of the pathogens they spread.<\/li> <\/ul> <p><strong>Progress<\/strong><\/p> <p>1994 &#8211; veterinary doctor<\/p> <p>1998 &#8211; PhD<\/p> <p>2008 &#8211; habilitation<\/p> <p>2020 &#8211; MTA doctor<\/p> <p><strong>Professional organization membership<\/strong><\/p> <table style=\"height: 193px;\" width=\"966\"> <tbody> <tr style=\"height: 27px;\"> <td style=\"width: 504.773px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\">Doctoral School Council<\/td> <td style=\"width: 100.156px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\"><\/td> <td style=\"width: 340.554px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\">\u00a0Member<\/td> <\/tr> <tr style=\"height: 27px;\"> <td style=\"width: 504.773px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\">The Veterinary Science Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences<\/td> <td style=\"width: 100.156px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\"><\/td> <td style=\"width: 340.554px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\">\u00a0Member<\/td> <\/tr> <tr style=\"height: 22px;\"> <td style=\"width: 504.773px; height: 22px; text-align: center;\">Hungarian Society of Parasitologists<\/td> <td style=\"width: 100.156px; height: 22px; text-align: center;\"><\/td> <td style=\"width: 340.554px; height: 22px; text-align: center;\">\u00a0Member of the Board<\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody> <\/table> <p>Number of thesis\/TDK students to date: 18<\/p> <table width=\"569\"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan=\"2\" width=\"569\"> <p><strong>PhD-students:<\/strong><\/p> <p>Dr. Flaisz Barbara<\/p> <p>Dr. Sz\u0151ke Krisztina<\/p> <p>Dr. Tuska-Szalay Barbara<\/p> <p>Dr. Keve Gerg\u0151<\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody> <\/table> <p><strong>Publication list (Top10)<\/strong><\/p> <p>MTMT:\u00a0 https:\/\/m2.mtmt.hu\/gui2\/?type=authors&amp;mode=browse&amp;sel=10003063<\/p> <table style=\"height: 297px;\" width=\"949\"> <tbody> <tr> <td style=\"width: 40.0167px; text-align: center;\">1.<\/td> <td style=\"width: 894.183px; text-align: center;\">Hornok S, Berkecz R, S\u00f3s E, S\u00e1ndor AD, K\u00f6rm\u00f6czi T, Solymosi N, Kontsch\u00e1n J, Hunyadi A.
