By understanding the history, genetic diversity and distributions of parasites, we hope to learn how drug resistance emerges and how parasites adapt to their hosts. Our research approach integrates the fields of epidemiology, ecology, and evolution. This integrated perspective will improve understanding of disease variation and susceptibility, and advance the effectiveness of disease intervention strategies, as well as the ways that humans control infectious diseases.
