J. Trevor Vannatta studies parasites and infectious diseases in wildlife and livestock, particularly helminth (parasitic worm) infections such as the giant liver fluke in deer and moose, and how these infections affect individual animals and broader ecosystems. Some work also touches on viral disease (turkey reovirus) and on how climate change and livestock diseases may interact in feedback loops. This research combines wildlife ecology, parasitology, and disease ecology to understand how parasites shape animal populations and ecosystem processes.
Publication output rose from little to no activity before 2019 to a peak around 2020-2021, then declined to a slower, steadier pace of about one to two papers per year through 2025.
