Welcome!

An evolutionary ecology approach is critical to understanding how host-parasite interactions have changed through time in response to each other and to modifications in the environment. My lab's research investigates the role that genetic variability plays in parasite evolution. We integrate field, experimental, and molecular data with ecological, phylogenetic, and population genetic analyses to better understand patterns of disease from both host and parasite perspectives.

1/13/2021: Emma wrote a blog post about the difficulty of doing summer fieldwork due to COVID-19 for the HPI Training Program. The post includes some beautiful   images of some places she visited during her fieldwork.  https://theparasiteblog.wordpress.com/2021/01/12/the-challenges-of-conducting-field-work-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/

12/23/2020: Co-op student Carly Gair is joining us for a 2nd term work term in Winter 2021. She will continue working on the molecular identification of parasites and snails as part of our surveys for helminth parasites of moose in western Manitoba. Funding for her position stems from a grant from the Moose Stewardship Conservation Program from Manitoba Hydro. Looking forward to working with her again!
