Researcher
Carine Brouat (UMR CBGP, CR1 IRD) is an evolutionary ecologist working on invasive and native rodents in Africa and their interactions with parasites. Developing a diversity of approaches from parasite community ecology to host population genetics, behaviour, and immunoecology/immunogenomics, she is leading research to understand the causes of invasion success of exotic rodents (e.g., the house mouse Mus musculus domesticus, and the black rat Rattus rattus, in Senegal). She is also working on the consequences of rodent invasions on the spread and persistence of some zoonotic pathogens (e.g., plague in Madagascar), and on public health.
