Rachel L. Pullan - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Rachel L. Pullan is a prominent researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Infectious and Tropical Diseases at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London, UK. Her work primarily focuses on neglected tropical diseases, sanitation and public health, and the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Her extensive research contributes significantly to understanding and addressing public health issues within developing regions, particularly in Africa.

Research Contributions

Rachel L. Pullan has made substantial contributions to the field of infectious diseases, with a particular emphasis on neglected tropical diseases such as lymphatic filariasis and Buruli ulcer. Her research includes the development of methods for disease surveillance and burden estimation, and she has been involved in efforts to map disease transmission patterns and the spatial distribution of suitable environments for disease proliferation. Furthermore, she has contributed to understanding the inaccuracies in school-based deworming coverage reporting and has modeled the spread and impact of COVID-19 in England. Her work often involves interdisciplinary approaches, integrating epidemiological data with spatial and statistical modeling to inform public health interventions.

Aliases

Rachel L. Pullan is also known by various aliases in her publications, including R. L. Pullan, Rachel L Pullan, and Rachel Pullan. These variations reflect common naming conventions in academic publishing.
