Role of Wildlife

Role of wildlife in the transmission dynamics of zoonotic pathogens and impact of demographics and land use on prevalence of zoonotic pathogens in wildlife

Our group is investigating the impact of demographic and land use on the occurrence of zoonotic   pathogens in wildlife hosts.  We are currently investigating Baylisascaris procyonis in raccoons and Echinococcus multilocularis in both definitive and intermediate hosts.
