Isabella has now taken up a faculty position of Penn State. Mechanisms of host-parasite interaction and effects on population dynamics, characteristics of interspecific parasite interactions and consequences for dynamics of a single parasite species, role of host heterogeneities and consequences for parasite dynamics immuno-epidemiology of host-parasite interactions. |
| Adela Comanici | My research interests lie in the areas of mathematical biology (epidemiology), dynamical systems, bifurcation theory and nonlinear dynamics. Recently, I became interested in understanding the spatio-temporal dynamics of the infectious diseases via various mathematical models, and how these are affected by control strategies, with applications to the networks of livestock movements in the UK. |

Eleanor Cottam IAH-Pirbright & Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, FBLS |
Eleanor was a graduate student supported by the BBSRC and co-supervised by Dan Haydon, and Don King and David Paton of the Institute of Animal Health, Pirbright. Eleanor completed her PhD in 2008 on the microevolutionary dynamics of FMDV, producing 4 excellent publications and has gone on to conduct post-doctoral work in the School of Medicine at the University of East Anglia. |
| Anaid has submitted her PhD on the evolution of phenotypic plasticity in the nematode, C. remanei and started a NERC funded post-doc with Mark Viney at Bristol University. Her first paper in the Journal of Nematology came out in early 2009. |
| Karim Gharbi | Karim is now working for the Edinburgh Sequencing Centre - Genepool I am interested in genome biology and transmission genetics. I am particularly interested in disease resistance and host-pathogen interactions. My current research is primarily focused on the role of host genetics in the susceptibility and transmission of parasitic crustaceans (sea lice) that affect both wild and farmed salmon. |

Giles Innocent Comparative Epidemiology, FVM |
Giles is currently working for the Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland Research Institution |
| Doug defended his PhD thesis on spatial population dynamics in Scottish upland birds in January 2009 and now works for the Australian Koala Foundation. |
Kath has now taken up a post-doctoral position with Nick Grassly at Imperial College My previous research (whilst at Glasgow) was on advanced methods for collection and analysis of surveillance data. Projects have so far focussed on surveillance for endemic infection in Scottish livestock, and of particular interest are combining datasets from multiple sources. |
