Our laboratory focuses on the understanding of the ecology, immunology and pathology of wildlife infectious diseases. Most of the pathogen (parasite) diversity in the planet is associated to wildlife species. Therefore, from an ecological and global health perspective, it is critical to know and understand the drivers of this pathogen diversity. While most of our approaches and research questions are based on the microbial and host side of the infectious disease triad, we also collaborate with diverse groups that focus on the impact of environmental change on the health of animals and their susceptibility to infectious diseases.
