Research summary
AI-generated

Louise Bach Kmetiuk works in immunology and microbiology, focusing on infectious diseases that spread between animals and people, such as vector-borne infections (spread by ticks and other biting organisms), rabies, and toxoplasmosis. Much of the work involves field research on wildlife, domestic animals, and humans in Brazil, examining topics like tick abnormalities and bacterial infections (e.g., Rickettsia) in wild boar, hunting dogs, and people who work with them. This research fits under a 'One Health' framework, which studies the connections between animal, human, and environmental health.
