Regents’ Professor John Drake of the Odum School of Ecology and director of the Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases (CEID) is building a Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infectious disease model to explain how this virus is expected to spread after it is introduced into the United States.
Researchers at the Odum School of Ecology are studying oyster disease in Georgia.
Since April of this year, frogs that rely on longleaf pine ecosystems have been dying at alarming rates in some regions. Courtesy faculty Stacey Lance is working with collaborators to understand why.
