Sophia Di Cataldo

From 2007 to date, I have worked as a field assistant on numerous inter-institutional One-Health projects, where I learned to capture and sample wild mammals. I have a veterinary degree and a Ph.D. in conservation medicine. In 2017 I led a project similar to this one in Chile, where I sampled over 1,500 wild and domestic canids, contributing to wildlife epidemiology and conservation in Latin America. I have vast experience in molecular detection and phylogenetic analyses of infectious agents. I likewise have extensive experience as an informal public lecturer on zoonosis and have published 20 articles in indexed journals.
