معرفی
Dr. Ellen Haynes is an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine, affiliated with the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study (SCWDS). Her work focuses on wildlife epidemiology, particularly infectious diseases in North American reptiles and amphibians, emphasizing ophidiomycosis (snake fungal disease). She holds a BS in Agriculture and Life Sciences from Cornell University (2009), a DVM from Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine (2013), and a PhD in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (2021).
She serves as Regional Wildlife Health Coordinator for the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (SEAFWA) and provides disease consultation to state agencies. Her research integrates One Health principles, addressing zoonotic pathogens, tick-borne diseases, and wildlife conservation challenges. Notable projects include Guinea worm surveillance in Chad, tick surveys in Africa, and clinical trials for snake fungal disease treatments.
Her publications emphasize wildlife health monitoring, pathogen ecology, and conservation medicine. Key themes include snake fungal disease epidemiology, tickborne pathogen dynamics, and wildlife-livestock interfaces. Her work bridges veterinary science, ecology, and public health to address emerging threats in wildlife populations.
Dr. Haynes collaborates on interdisciplinary projects involving molecular diagnostics, field surveillance, and clinical interventions. She actively participates in global health initiatives, such as the Guinea worm eradication program in Chad, demonstrating the practical application of One Health principles in resource-limited settings.
