Christopher M. Wade is an evolutionary biologist and parasitologist at the University of Nottingham.[1] He is an elected Fellow of the Linnean Society of London.

Education

Wade undertook his undergraduate studies at the University of Wales and joined the University of Edinburgh for his graduate studies, earning his PhD in 1997 for his research on the evolution of HIV.

Career and research

Wade began his career as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Nottingham in 1996, and subsequently was a research fellow at Natural History Museum, London in 1999. In 2001 he joined the University of Nottingham as a lecturer in Genetics. As of 2022, Wade is based at the University of Nottingham, where he lectures and researches snail evolution and parasitology.

Wade studies the evolution, population genetics and Taxonomy (biology) of aquatic and terrestrial Snail and Slug. He has published the definitive Molecular phylogenetics trees used for determining evolutionary relationships and taxonomy in terrestrial and aquatic snails and slugs.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] He has also applied molecular techniques to monitor and track the spread of the Lissachatina, a tropical pest that has spread to many parts of the world destroying crops and carrying parasitic diseases.[14][15][16]

Much of his research focusses on snails and slugs that carry human and veterinary diseases. Wade has monitored Schistosomiasis infections in Biomphalaria snails in the river systems and lakes of East Africa.[17][18][19][20] He has also monitored Schistosoma parasites in Bulinus snails in West Africa with his research on schistosomiasis in The Gambia leading to new control programs in the country.[21][22] Wade has also developed screening tools for the detection of Angiostrongylus, nematode parasites that cause disease in humans and pets and has applied these techniques to screen intermediate snail host populations for disease.[23][24][25]

Wade's research also encompasses studies of evolution in marine taxa. His studies with Kate Darling[26] on Globigerinina have revealed extensive genetic diversity in the foraminifera morphospecies but with gene flow on a global scale between the Arctic Ocean and Antarctic and between the tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean.[27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Their studies have also shown that planktonic foraminifera have evolved multiple times from Benthos species and that Plankton species can survive extinction events by bridging the benthic/planktic divide.[34][35][36] His studies of fish have also revealed gene flow in the oceans over great distances with the bluenose warehou having genetic exchange across the southern oceans and Lutjanus species capable of transiting from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal.[37] His research has also examined the spread of Benthos Foraminifera species around the UK and the seasonal variation in benthic populations.[38][39]

Wade has also published on molecular phylogenetics.[40]
