Research title: Epidemiology of the enteric protozoan parasite Giardia
Research Summary
I am a public health veterinarian and researcher. My background and interests cover a wide range of topics within the field of one health epidemiology and economics, including zoonosis transmission modelling, disease control interventions, food hygiene, official veterinary controls, and antimicrobial resistance.
