Our Laboratory studies the ecology and epidemiology of infectious diseases in animal and human populations. We are particularly interested in the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, infectious diseases on Caribbean coral reefs, emerging infectious diseases in wildlife, infectious diseases in feline populations, and the theory and mathematical modeling of vector-borne diseases in communities. Much of our work is in rodents and domestic animals and/or vectored by ticks. Special interests include international veterinary medicine and ecological research (Asia, Australia, and Mexico), granulocytic anaplasmosis, Lyme disease, and plague. |
