Christine A. Petersen studies vector-borne diseases, with a particular focus on leishmaniasis (a parasitic disease spread by sand flies) and tick-borne infections like Lyme disease and related coinfections. Her work spans dogs and humans, covering vaccine development, diagnostics, disease transmission, insecticide resistance, and immune responses to infection. This research is relevant to students interested in parasitology, immunology, epidemiology, and One Health approaches connecting animal and human disease.
Publication output rose from around 10 papers per year in 2017 to a peak of 15 in 2022, then gradually declined to about 8-10 per year in 2024-2025, suggesting a steady but slightly slowing pace over the past decade.
