Epidemiology
With respect to spatio-temporal dynamics, epidemiology is a specific field of community ecology. However, disease management changes the focus of research questions.Current and previous projects:

Immuno-contraception for rabies control in urban dogs
Urban dog populations present a major risk for spread of rabies to humans. However, disease control is limited due to population elasticity, animal accessibility and resources. In two master student projects, we analysed the effectiveness of a new population control method immuno-contraception (compared to standard control methods) for population and disease control in urban dog populations.This work was performed at FERA
