EMD Seminar Series Brandon Brei Memorial Lecture: Jean Tsao - "Wildlife and Lyme disease risk: considering their contributions to the emergence, distribution, and prevalence of disease risk to better predict and reduce disease risk in the future"

Dr. Jean Tsao has more than 20 years of experience studying Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, and its vector, the blacklegged tick. Tsao helped develop a program at Michigan State for the study of conservation medicine, and she teaches courses in medical entomology and field ecology of disease vectors like ticks and mosquitoes. She also trains veterinary students to investigate diseases in wildlife and diseases that move from wild animals to humans, companion animals, and livestock.
