Alan J. Figueroa Ruiz

I am a conservation agronomist interested in studying wildlife ecological diseases and conservation genetics. More specifically, in how landscape change/cover, anthropogenic actions and climate change impacts ecological and biological variables. My thesis project includes evaluating different seasons of T. gondii prevalence and association between T.m. manatus and F.s. catus; and how T. gondii prevalence affects environmental stress, nutrition, and reproductive hormone profile in T.m. manatus.
