Conférenciers invités

We are pleased to welcome the following key speakers at the 4th Young Scientists Conference on Conservation Sciences in the Mediterranean region :

Marion Vittecoq

Researcher at the Tour du Valat - A research institute for the conservation of Mediterranean wetlands

I am interested in the dynamics of emerging pathogens at the interface between wildlife, livestock and human populations. I obtained my PhD in evolutionary biology in 2012 following my work on the emerging infectious diseases in the Mediterranean wetlands in the context of global changes. I am currently developing a research project aiming at understanding the role of wildlife in the dynamics of antimicrobial resistant bacteria. I also study the dynamics of fasciolosis in the Camargue and the fate of avian influenza viruses in wetland networks. I participate in many other projects from the study of bird ticks to cancers in natural ecosystems or toxoplasmosis.
