Parasitism: The most common
mode of life on the planet.

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?
