Where does ecological theory meet biomedicine and medical anthropology? This is the overarching question that I hope to explore during my graduate studies at the U of S. Drawing from an academic background in wildlife disease ecology and longtime employment in the veterinary field, I plan to address this question by focusing on Toxoplasma gondii ecology in northern ecosystems. By utilizing multiple transmission strategies, Toxoplasma gondii influences the health of both human and wildlife populations. My research will examine the pathogen as it relates to human food safety, wildlife disease ecology, and landscape ecology.
