Prof. Thekisoe obtained a PhD degree (Veterinary Science) at Gifu University, Japan. He served as a Postdoctoral Fellow of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in 2007 to 2009 at Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Japan. He then joined University of the Free State as a Senior Lecturer in 2009 until 2013, and Associate Professor in 2014. He later joined North-West University (NWU) in 2015 as an Associate Professor and is currently a Professor of Zoology. He is the Principal Investigator of the Veterinary Parasitology and Zoonosis Research Laboratory. Initially (2000 – 2015), his research focus was mainly on molecular diagnostics and epidemiology of vector-borne parasitic infections in livestock. However, since 2016 he has expanded his research niche to include zoonotic infections within the “One Health” paradigm.
