Dr. Waren Baticados is recognized for his significant contributions in the area of molecular research and detection of significant animal diseases caused by protozoans and rickettsia specifically trypanosomosis, babesiosis, neosporosis, and ehrlichiosis. These have worldwide importance especially in the tropics including the Philippines. His works therefore have contributed to a better understanding on how the parasite evades the host’s immune response and prompted rapid diagnosis for timely and proper intervention against such diseases cited.
