Russell McClanahan
Research Supervisor
Research Interest
My research interest is the epidemiology of zoonotic bacterial
agents in their domestic animal reservoirs, particularly Salmonella,
Campylobacter and, E. coli O157:H7. My long-term goal in the
research lab is to help in the development of practical measures to
reduce the prevalence of these agents in their animal reservoir,
ultimately reducing the risk of human disease from a compromised
food supply.

An
additional interest of mine is Veterinary Hospital / Laboratory
Biosafety. I’m specifically interested in controlling the
dissemination of nosocomial / laboratory agents between the hosts /
laboratory and the environment.
