My research focuses particularly on haemotropic mycoplasmas (haemoplasmas), a newly defined group of pathogens that can induce haemolysis of red blood cells, and feline coronavirus infections, which can result in the fatal disease of feline infectious peritonitis. I am also involved in research on vector borne diseases such as Leishmania and Babesia. I am also involved in the Veterinary School's Comparative and Clinical Research Group within the Population Health Research Theme.
