Research

Exploring immune responses to rickettsia diseases for better health.

A coiled rattlesnake rests on a dark, earthy ground, partially hidden under a large rock. It features a distinctive diamond pattern along its scales and is surrounded by a few green leaves from nearby plants.

Rickettsia Research

Investigating immune responses to rickettsia diseases for better outcomes.

Three petri dishes filled with red agar medium, showing bacterial colonies of varying sizes and densities. The colonies appear as small, round dots or clusters on the surface of the agar.
