Research interests

I am interested in the epidemiology and surveillance of zoonotic pathogens.  I have worked previously in an urban slum setting, examining the zoonotic risks associated with urbanization and with rodent borne zoonoses particularly.  In my current position I am looking at the different social and ecological impacts of three diseases (brucellosis, leptospirosis and Q fever) across different ecological settings in northern Tanzania.

Current project

I am currently working on the impact and social ecology of bacterial zoonoses in northern Tanzania.
