研究领域

I examine the ecology and evolution of infectious disease by (1) building theoretical models and using experimental insect-virus systems to examine the evolutionary dynamics of host defence and parasite virulence, (2) combining models and fieldwork on human tropical disease and (3) developing models to predict the impact and spread of wildlife disease including avian malaria, and squirrel-pox virus
