A.G.M.Sofi Uddin Mahamud is a Bangladeshi researcher passionate about tackling antimicrobial resistance. He earned his B.Sc. in Fisheries degree from Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Bangladesh and a Master’s in Food Safety and Regulatory Science degree from Chung-Ang University (CAU), South Korea. He is currently pursuing his PhD at the University of Georgia in the Momany Lab, where he studies how Aspergillus fumigatus develops resistance to antifungal treatments. Additionally, he voluntarily works for the ABEx Bio-Research Center, Bangladesh as a Research Associate.

His research career spans several countries, reflecting his diverse expertise. In Bangladesh, he worked in the Fish Health and Bacteriology Lab, focusing on fish growth and disease control using probiotics. During his time in South Korea, he developed phytochemical-based antimicrobials and explored their antimicrobial actions on bacterial biofilms, cell membranes, and energy metabolism. He also studied as a post-graduate student at the School of Food Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology (SCUT), in China.

Initially, Mahamud focused on bacterial antimicrobial resistance, but he later shifted to fungal resistance, recognizing its complexity. His long-term goal is to combine his knowledge of bacterial and fungal resistance to develop integrated solutions. While he is still exploring the coexistence of bacterial and fungal pathogens, he is eager to contribute to strategies addressing their combined impact.

Above all, Mahamud is driven by the belief that science should be accessible to all and serve humanity, inspiring his commitment to tackling some of the most pressing challenges in antimicrobial resistance.

Seasonal dynamics and phylogenetic analysis of Eustrongylides: A zoonotic parasite infesting spotted snakehead (Channa punctata

Aquaculture International, 2025

Eustrongylides are a nematode parasite of fish and fish-eating birds and have a potential health ... more Eustrongylides are a nematode parasite of fish and fish-eating birds and have a potential health hazard in humans. The present study was designed to determine seasonal dynamics and molecular characterization of Eustrongylides spp. in Channa punctata collected from Trishal, Mymensingh. A total of 385 fish samples were collected and processed, and isolated parasites were examined under a microscope. After morphological examination, twenty (20) parasites were considered for sequencing using the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS-2) gene. The isolated parasites were identified as fourth-stage larvae (L 4) of Eustrongylides according to their morphological features. Of 385 fish samples, 79 were infected with Eustrongylides spp., and overall prevalence, mean intensity, and abundance were 20.5%, 1.86 ± 0.18, and 0.38, respectively. The highest prevalence was found in the rainy season (27.8%), followed by autumn (24.3), and the lowest in winter (15.6) and summer (14.6%). Medium-sized fish (24.5%) were more prone to parasitic infestation than smaller (16.6%) and larger (14.5%) ones. Parasites were more abundant in body cavity (79.5%) than muscle (20.5%). Among 20 sequences, one genotype was identified and showed 100% similarities with reference sequences of Eustrongylides spp. The unique clustering pattern confirmed morphological identification as Eustrongylides spp. Detailed molecular study is essential to explore the genetic diversity pattern of Eustrongylides in C. punctata.
