Title

Research area Her research focuses on infectious diseases and polyneuropathy in horses. Strangles and equine influenza have been particularly in focus.

The goal of the research is to develop and disseminate evidence-based knowledge on topics such as epidemiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and disease control for creating effective tools for veterinarians to combat equine diseases plaguing horses in the country.
