I finished my veterinary studies in 2002 (Veterinary School of Lyon, France), with a specialisation in Toxicology-Pharmacovigilance (2003) and in Tropical Veterinary Medicine (2006). I graduated from the MSc Veterinary Epidemiology in 2007 (Royal Veterinary College RVC / LSHTM).
In October 2009, I started a PhD looking at the transmission of Rift Valley fever in the livestock population in South Africa, under the co-supervision of Dr Lisa Collins (Queen’s University Belfast), Dr Richard White (LSHTM) and Prof Dirk Pfeiffer (RVC).
Affiliation
Research
I developed interest in zoonotic and vector-borne diseases. Before starting my PhD, I’ve been involved in research projects on animal African trypanosomosis in Burkina Faso; and in highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in Africa and South-east Asia, investigating different strategies for disease risk reduction.
