Spencer R. Hall studies how parasites interact with their hosts and the surrounding ecosystem, using mathematical models and ecological theory to understand disease dynamics. Much of the work explores how infection spreads through populations, how hosts evolve resistance, and how predators and food resources shape these host-parasite relationships. Some publications also address applied topics in public health and nutrition.
