Jean-Lou Justine (born 1955), French parasitologist and zoologist, is a professor at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France, and a specialist of fish parasites and invasive land planarians.
Higher education and career
Justine was in high school in Saint Raphaël, France, then an undergraduate student at the University of Nice (1972–1976), and at the École Normale Supérieure in Saint-Cloud after which he passed the Agrégation in 1977, and finally a graduate student at the University of Montpellier. He passed his PhD in 1980 and his Doctorat d'État (State doctorate) in 1985, both in the University of Montpellier, under the supervision of Professors Xavier Mattei and Louis Euzet.
From 1978 to 1985, Justine was Assistant then Maître-Assistant (assistant professor) at the University of Dakar, Senegal. He entered the National Museum of Natural History (MNHN) in 1985 to join, as Maître-Assistant (Assistant Professor) the laboratory directed at that time by Professor Alain Chabaud. He is a member of the MNHN since, and a full professor since 1995, but spent several years (2003–2011) as visiting scholar in Nouméa, New Caledonia.
Justine is the curator of the parasitic worms in the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France,{{cite web |title=Jean-Lou Justine |url=http://isyeb.mnhn.fr/fr/annuaire/jean-lou-justine-1665 |website=Institut de Systématique, Evolution, Biodiversité, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle |publisher=Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France |access-date=26 September 2018}}
and, since 2013, a deputy-director the Institute of Systematics, Evolution and Biodiversity (ISYEB), one of the largest units in the MNHN.
He is also a member of the EASIN (European Alien Species Information Network) Editorial Board since 2015 {{cite web |last1=EASIN Editorial Board |title=EASIN Editorial Board |url=https://easin.jrc.ec.europa.eu/eb/(X(1)S(tjtcfe1qymnh0sj5mpv4i02r))/Home/Board |website=European Alien Species Information Network |publisher=European Commission |access-date=26 September 2018}} and the editor-in-chief of the journal Parasite since 2012.
Research

Justine has worked on several fields during his career. His early research and his theses were about sperm ultrastructure in parasitic flatworms and its use for phylogeny.{{cite thesis |last= Justine|first= Jean-Lou |title= Étude ultrastructurale de la gamètogenèse chez Schistosoma bovis Sonsino, 1876 (Trematoda: Schistosomatidae)|type=PhD |date=1980|url=https://figshare.com/articles/_tude_ultrastructurale_de_la_gam_togen_se_de_Schistosoma_bovis_Sonsino_1876_Trematoda_Schistosomatidae_Ultrastructural_study_of_gametogenesis_in_Schistosoma_bovis_Sonsino_1876_Trematoda_Schistosomatidae_/154986 |access-date=26 September 2018|doi=10.6084/m9.figshare.154985}} {{open access}}{{cite thesis |last= Justine|first= Jean-Lou|title= Étude ultrastructurale comparée de la spermiogenèse des Digènes et des Monogènes (Plathelminthes).
