Research: I am currently involved in conducting research on a group of insects new to the laboratory and the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Lutzomyia sand flies. Sand flies are small, hairy, phlebotomines, typically occurring in the tropics and subtropics, and are primary disease vectors of a number of diseases including those caused by Leishmania spp. parasites (the agent causing Leishmaniasis). In the New World, the geographic range of the genus Lutzomyia extends across most of South America, and north through Mexico and the coastal areas of the continental United States. Recently, two species of sand flies have been detected in areas relatively far from where they had previously been known to occur. The overall theme and goals of my research are to learn more about the specific whereabouts of these flies in the region, discover information relating to their habits and feeding activity, and develop strategies to help cope with these insects in the event of a disease outbreak in the central United States. Previously, while attending Shawnee State University, I worked on quantifying some of the detrimental effects of run-off sewage pollution on breeding frog and toad populations in southern Ohio.
