Research interests

My research concerns the ecology of infectious diseases. I am interested in spatial and temporal dynamics of vaccine-preventable diseases in order to better understand the impact of vaccination in the long term on these diseases (periodicity, transmission, persistence...). My projects concern in particular measles, pertussis and Meningococcal Meningitis. I use comparative approach to analyze epidemiological datasets at different spatial scales in relation with demographic and vaccination population conditions. I mainly focus my studies on the comparison between North countries and South countries.
