Key Research Interests

  • Identifying animal reservoirs of neglected zoonotic pathogens
  • Host-pathogen interactions and transmission dynamics at the human-wildlife-livestock interface
  • Understanding the effects of environmental change on the ecology and evolution of pathogens
  • Developing tools for improving the diagnosis and control of important neglected pathogens
  • Using “One Health” approaches to the management of zoonotic pathogens
