Research focus: Eco-epidemiology and molecular characterization of zoonotic and vector-borne pathogens, with an emphasis on tick-borne pathogens within the family Anaplasmataceae. We combine field research, molecular and phylogenetic analysis to investigate pathogen diversity, and transmission dynamics between environmental, animal and human interfaces.
