Hi, I’m Anika. I’m the founder of Microbeon.

A few years ago, I became interested in microbiology, which fascinates me very much. Looking at things through a microscope is as if you were entering a different galaxy. I’ve been particularly interested in parasitology, and I’ve been absorbing everything I could find on parasites and microbiology, including a series of courses offered by international universities.

During my research, I learned that those who like to travel, spend a lot of time outdoors or live closely with their pets run the greatest risk of being infected with parasites. I would, therefore, like to raise awareness of the fact that parasites are not only a problem in developing countries, but that they are also spreading freely in the western world—such as Lyme disease. I want to help the chronically ill, too, by providing impressive microscopic images and videos of their living blood that may give new clues about the root cause of their maladies.
