Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Allison Surf's research focuses on the study of parasitic nematodes, specifically species of the genus Dracunculus, and their prevalence in North American river otters (Lontra canadensis). Her work investigates the diversity of these parasitic species within otter populations and explores their phylogenetic relationships. Surf has co-authored publications examining the genetic diversity of Dracunculus in otters, contributing to the understanding of host-parasite interactions and the broader ecology of these animals. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 3, with 7 total publications and 18 total citations. She collaborates with Renn Tumlison at Henderson State University, with whom she shares one publication.
