Research Interests
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.
Investigative research revolves around four main areas. These include:
- herd biosecurity (BVD PI detection, Johnes disease
surveillance, BLV herd control, and Neospora monitoring);
- 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);
- detection of emerging infections, such as canine
leptospirosis, and coronaveral infections of wild canids and
felids;
- investigations of vaccination failures, which includes
analysis of host immune response and pathogenic properties
of viruses causing disease in the face of immunization.
