Research Profile

The Keiser Lab studies infectious disease ecology through the lens of animal behavior. We are interested in the relationship between individual and social determinants of disease and focus mostly on invertebrate animals (e.g., spiders, ticks, flies, snails) and their associated parasites. Dr. Keiser operates the Spider Parasite Digital Research (SPDR) Collection which focuses on the parasites and parasitoids of spiders.
