Personal Biography

I study the ecology and epidemiology of infectious diseases in animal and human populations. I have a Ph.D in the ecology of infectious diseases (UC Davis, 1995) and a DVM, emphasizing ecology and medicine of wildlife, laboratory animals, and small animals. My veterinary practice experience includes small animal medicine, emergency medicine, and working with free-ranging wildlife.

 

Current Research Interests:

• Epidemiology of vector-borne diseases (in people, dogs, cats, horses, and wildlife) in California. Special interests include granulocytic anaplasmosis, Lyme disease, and plague.
• Simulation and analytical modeling of infectious disease persistence and emergence in nature, using different pathogen-host systems.
• Infectious diseases in wild carnivores and small mammals.
• Ticks and tick biology

Other:

I have 2 children, 4 cats, 1 dog, 2 chickens and 2 turtles. My husband, Patrick Foley, is a theoretical population biologist specializing in extinction at California State University, Sacramento.

Vectorborne Diseases and Infectious Disease Ecology Laboratory

Our laboratory studies the ecology and epidemiology of infectious diseases in animal and human populations. We are particularly interested in the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, emerging infectious diseases in wildlife, infectious diseases in feline populations, and the theory and mathematical modeling of vector-borne diseases in communities. Much of our work is in rodents and domestic animals and/or vectored by ticks. Special interests include international veterinary medicine and ecological research (Asia, Australia, and Mexico), granulocytic anaplasmosis, Lyme disease, and plague.

 

 

Post-doctoral scholars and Graduate Students

 

Tick Diseases:

We have several research projects focused on the ecology and epidemiology of ticks and tickborne diseases of California and elsewhere.

• Forest change and the emergence of disease transmitted by Ixodes ricinus group hard ticks in northern California and northeastern China.
• Modeling the enzootic maintenance of granulocytic anaplasmosis in California wildlife.
• Understanding high anaplasmosis and Lyme- risk regions of far northern California through wildlife and tick studies.
• Comparative habitat analysis for hard-tick borne disease in the western US.
• Developing an active surveillance program for exotic ticks of cattle in California.
