OverviewAI-generated summary

Janine Mistrick investigates the ecological factors influencing zoonotic disease transmission, with a particular focus on rodent populations. Her research explores how environmental conditions, such as agricultural landscapes and synanthropic habitats, impact microbiome diversity and the prevalence of zoonotic bacterial pathogens in species like *Peromyscus* mice. Mistrick also studies the effects of ecological interventions, including food supplementation and helminth removal, on animal behavior, space use, and social networks. These studies aim to understand how ecological processes shape disease dynamics and contribute to the development of strategies for reducing the threats of rodent-borne zoonoses. Her work involves constructing animal networks to infer parasite transmission pathways and analyzing how factors like food availability alter host-parasite interactions.
