Aránzazu Meana Mañes earned her degree and PhD in veterinary medicine from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), where she is full professor at the Department of Animal Health of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. She is also a Diplomate of the European Veterinary Parasitology College. She has worked as a veterinary surgeon of small animals in a private clinic. Her research activity focuses on the pathophysiology and epidemiology of major parasitic diseases of domestic animals (gastrointestinal and hepatic helminths of herbivores, equine and bovine piroplasmosis), and on methods of control (chemoprophylaxis, anthelmintic resistance, and genetic resistance) of parasitic diseases of domestic and wild animals. She has published numerous research papers on parasitic diseases of animals in international parasitology and veterinary journals and has presented numerous communications to national and international parasitology congresses. She has been a visiting fellow at the Departments of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Glasgow and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge (United Kingdom). She has worked as assistant director of the Department of Animal Health of the UCM, and has sat on expert committees of the Spanish Ministry of Health, Education and Science, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food.
