Immunoecology, genomics of host-parasite relationships and their consequences for the emergence of zoonoses

Research

My research focuses on host-parasites interactions in the context of emerging zoonoses and pluriannual
demographic cycles. I aim to describe the spatio-temporal variability of these interactions and to decipher the neutral and adaptive mechanisms underlying their evolution. I am especially interested in studying the heterogeneity of hosts' immune responses, using phenotypic and genomic approaches.As an evolutionary ecologist, I combine different approaches to lead this research, including immunogenetics, zoonoses epidemiology and population genomics. I have worked a lot on rodents, helminths and hantaviruses, but I am now also interested in bats, microbiome (bacterial and fungal communities) and coinfections.

Recently, I have developed research on bat ecology. I am interested in studying bat population genetics and bat diet, using molecular approach. In particular, I would like to test whether win win strategies can be implemented for insectivore bat conservation biology and biological control against pest.
