Charles Faulkner is a Professor of Parasitology at Lincoln Memorial University's College of Veterinary Medicine. His research focuses on parasitic diseases in animals and humans, with a strong emphasis on canine heartworm epidemiology, zoonotic transmission, and the impact of environmental factors on parasite prevalence. He holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology/Parasitology from the University of Tennessee (1998), complemented by earlier degrees in Anthropology (B.A. 1982, M.A. 1989).
His work spans veterinary public health, including studies on heartworm prophylaxis compliance in the Cumberland Gap region and serological assessments of arthropod-borne diseases in shelter dogs. He has also explored paleoparasitology, analyzing ancient fecal samples to trace prehistoric infections, and contributed to wildlife health projects in Madagascar and South Carolina.
Faulkner’s articles highlight interdisciplinary approaches, blending anthropology, epidemiology, and veterinary science to address zoonotic risks, genetic resistance in parasites, and conservation medicine challenges. His research underscores the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.
