Biography

My research activity combines tools from the field of ecology, veterinary sciences and biotechnology. This includes viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases with emphasis on the control of shared problems between wildlife, domestic animals and humans, such as tuberculosis or vector-borne infections, such as leishmaniosis. I am interested in heat-inactivated vaccines.
