Jessica Martin (Post-doctoral Researcher)
I recently completed my PhD at Stanford University, where I studied host-parasite interactions in a desert rodent community as well as how Dermacentor tick traits affect their ability to transmit disease to humans. I’m broadly interested in how the structure of mammalian host communities can impact parasites and their associated diseases and how the ecological context of host-parasite interactions can inform large-scale patterns in disease ecology.

Having grown up in New Mexico, I’m thrilled to return to the desert southwest as a postdoctoral researcher. At NMSU, I will be continuing my work in ecological parasitology, studying the ecology of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus and the impacts of fire on mammalian parasites in conjunction with other members of the Gompper Lab.
