Dr. Anna Jolles is a disease ecologist and epidemiologist at Oregon State University, where she has appointments in the Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine and the Department of Zoology. The Jolles lab studies the ecology and eco-immunology of infectious diseases in wild mammals. Current study systems include infectious diseases of African buffalo, feline immunodeficiency virus in African lions and Hanta virus in small mammals in Oregon. We collaborate with Dolan’s group on comparative immunology across a broad range of mammal species, and with Clint Epps (OSU Fisheries & Wildlife) on pneumonia in desert bighorn sheep.
