Over the past 40 years I have studied various aspects of lyssaviruses, including their diagnosis, pathobiolgy, epidemiology, prevention and control. I am one of the founders of World Rabies Day and a founding international steering committee member of the Rabies in the Americas, Inc. Conference. To date, I have coauthored more than 400 papers in the peer-reviewed literature and maintain editorial duties at several scientific periodicals, including the Journal of Wildlife Diseases. Currently, I am a global biomedical consultant, Affiliate Professor at Auburn University, and an Expert Technical Advisor on Rabies for the Pan American Health Organization and the World Health Organization.
