23e The heart of my research program is the University of Pennsylvania / Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia Zoonotic disease research laboratory in Arequipa, Peru. I founded and co-direct this laboratory, which currently employs 28 full-time staff & students, including biologists, epidemiologists, veterinarians, social scientists, health communicators, and insecticide applicators. Working with the Ministry of Health we have helped control a Chagas disease epidemic in a city of one million inhabitants and are working to stem an emerging epidemic of canine Rabies.

Description of Research Expertise
2f1 I am an interdisciplinary researcher. I have focused most of my career on insect vectors of infectious diseases, specifically Chagas disease. But the health impacts of insects go beyond the pathogens they transmit—my work on bed bugs has drawn me into housing policy, economics, and social justice—work which naturally extended into modeling of the effect of evictions during the Covid-19 pandemic. Insects are also critical actors in climactic change, both as causes of massive deforestation, and as victims of cataclysmic diversity loss. I have followed the insects into these broader issues; and I’ve seen that the greatest challenges to our health defy disciplines and strain the ties of traditional epidemiological methods.8
