Current Research
Niamh's PhD is looking at "the health and wellbeing effects of pest rodent management strategies in rural Madagascar', supervised by Dr Sandra Telfer and Dr Luis Loria Rebolledo. This interdisciplinary project hopes to see how the health burden presented by invasive rodents in Madagascar, through disease and malnutrition, can be translated into an economic burden. This will be done by working closely with rural communities in Madagascar to evaluate the prevalence, severity, and risk factors of rodent-borne diseases.
