Track II - Cape Horn ASIs: Climate change and disease ecology at the southern end of the Americas

2020-2024

This IRES Track II proposes an international collaboration to develop a set of experiential learning course organized around studying emerging infectious diseases in wildlife at the “southern tip of the world”

​

We will be conducting research on the emergence of Avian Malaria, and other pathogens in a pristine system with limited to no previous exposure to these infectious agents.

Principal Investigators at the University of North Texas: Andrew Gregory, Ricardo Rozzi, James Kennedy
