Global war against the rat

The role of the rat in the development of epidemiology is the subject of a new £990,164 research project at the University of St Andrews.

Medical anthropologist at the University, Dr Christos Lynteris, has been awarded the Investigator Award in the Humanities and Social Sciences by the Wellcome Trust.

He will lead a research team to investigate ‘The Global War Against the Rat and the Epistemic Emergence of Zoonosis’, beginning in October 2019.
