International: At the interface of wildlife, domestic livestock, and humans, one finds a hot spot for emerging infectious diseases. My research interests are the characterization and epidemiology of emerging infectious diseases in developing countries while improving human and animal health capacities and capabilities for improved outcomes across species.
Local: All global efforts start local and that includes the health of the environment, humans, and animals – One Health. Looking at both mental and physical health indicators, my research looks at interactions between the three spheres of One Health within Illinois, especially in Champaign county.
