Project Title:
Vectors and Vector-Host Relationships
Project Description:
My laboratory is interested in arthropods affecting wild and domesticated animals. I assist in several projects dedicated to pest control using integrated approaches, as well as research on the ecology of several vectors and vector and pest hosts, such as the white-footed mouse, white-tailed deer, and American black bear.
I am also running an independent research project, which focuses on evaluating the effects of subsequent infestations of black-legged ticks, deer ticks, and lone star ticks on white-footed mice.
