PhD opportunity-Taking a OneHealth approach to zoonotic disease-examining the transmission of toxoplasmosis to wildlife, livestock and humans
Project description-Despite cats being known to spread diseases, zoonotic disease transmission from cats is poorly understood and additional impacts of feral cat disease transmission to wildlife have not been well studied. This project will examine the transmission of toxoplasmosis (Toxoplasma gondii) in the great southern region of Western Australia. Particularly examining the potential transmission of the parasite to Australian native fauna, livestock and humans. The study will take an integrated OneHealth approach to examining the issue.
