Research and Scholarly Interests

Transmission patterns of infections of prokaryotic and eukaryotic parasites and the control of disease caused by these parasites. Control of parasites resistant to extant pharmaceuticals by selection of hosts with phenotype resistance to parasites and the selection of parasites with phenotypes susceptible to extant pharmaceuticals.
