His research interests are in the taxonomy, phylogeny, biodiversity and evolution of digenean trematodes, particularly those of freshwater and marine fishes and native Australian mammals, and co-evolution of the trematodes with their hosts. Cribb has strong international connections through working throughout tropical Indo-Pacific region His research has greatly increased understanding of numbers of these parasitic species; he has described over 300 new species and 65 genera and substantially revised several families.
