About
As a researcher, I'm interested on all related to Wildlife diseases specially zoonosis. Because zoonotic pathogens account for a large proportion of emerging infectious diseases and pose a serious threat to global human health.
Great apes (chimpanzees, bonobo and gorilla) are our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom and humans and great apes are susceptible to a very similar range of pathogens. Therefore, studying diseases of wild great apes allows for the discovery of pathogens of importance for human health, with great apes ultimately serving as sentinels for infectious diseases and disease outbreaks.
