I study parasites of wild animals. My research projects are designed to answer questions like these:
What impact
do parasites have on the health and reproductive success of wild
animals?
How do parasites modify the behavior of their hosts?
How are parasites transmitted among their wild animal hosts?
How do local habitat changes affect parasite populations?
Why are some animals more susceptible to parasite infection than
others?
What is the public health significance of parasites that infect
wild animals?
