Hi all, I'm currenly a graduate student getting my masters degree in biology working with spatial dynamics of parasite (trematodes) transmission in snails and amphibians. I'm extremely interested in a career in emerging infectious diseases, but I'm unsure of the qualifications that many people have in this field. It seems that many people have a DVM or a PhD in veterinary sciences that work with EIDs. I'm unsure if a masters degree is enough to work with EID's, therefore can anyone give me some insight into job/degree qualifications for working with EID's? I appreciate your time and consideration,
Sincerely, Courtney Culp Belden Lab 4078 Derring Hall Dept. of Biological Sciences Virginia Tech, Blacksburg VA 24061 Webpage: http://www.biology.vt.edu/faculty/belden/
