Specific Research Areas
Investigative research revolves around four main areas. These include:

   

James Evermann

 
  1. herd biosecurity (BVD PI detection, Johne’s disease surveillance, BLV herd control, and Neospora monitoring);
  2. interspecies spread of viruses between cats and dogs in domestic and wild environments (CPV-FPL molecular epidemiology, canine and feline calicivirus carrier status, and canine and feline morbillivirus ecology);
  3. detection of emerging infections, such as canine leptospirosis, and coronaveral infections of wild canids and felids;
  4. investigations of vaccination failures, which includes analysis of host immune response and pathogenic properties of viruses causing disease in the face of immunization.

Areas of Interest
Clinical virology; ecology and epidemiology of infectious diseases of cats and dogs; herd biosecurity for infectious diseases of livestock; evolution of emerging viral infections of veterinary and zoonotic concern.
