David Koch
Doctoral Student

Degrees:  M.S, 2002, Kansas State University.

Academic Interests:  Spatial and landscape epidemiology, the analysis of the spatial distributions of operating ecology and general aspects of the geography of Paraguay.

Current Activities:  Research project studying the distribution of hantavirus in rodents in Paraguay, includes understanding hantavirus spreads within rodent communities with the goal of understanding how to predict and consequently avoid outbreaks of hantavirus into the human population.
