S. A. Altizer - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Sonia Altizer is affiliated with the Odum School of Ecology and the Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases at the University of Georgia, located in Athens, GA, USA. As a researcher, she focuses on the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of infectious diseases, particularly in relation to wildlife and environmental change.

Research Contributions

Sonia Altizer's research has significantly contributed to our understanding of how ecological factors, such as habitat specialization and landscape-level toxicant exposure, affect pathogen dynamics and wildlife health. Her work on monarch butterflies has explored various aspects of parasitism, including the effects of migratory behavior, host density, and environmental factors on parasite persistence and host health. Altizer's studies also delve into the broader implications of animal migration and parasitism, providing insights into the complex interactions between wildlife movement and disease transmission.
