Broadly, the lab focuses on infectious disease epidemiology through a One Health lens, particularly studying zoonotic and vector borne diseases and infectious diseases that impact underserved companion animal populations.
Current studies include characterization of the flea microbiome and flea-borne diseases in pets via the FleaNet surveillance project and biobank, investigating Bartonella species transmission and clinical manifestations in dogs, cats, and people, studying transmission and treatment of parvovirus in puppies in collaboration with Austin Pets Alive, and investigating remdesivir treatment for cats with FIP.
