My main research interest concerns on the vertebrate ecology particularly the volant (bats), non-volant small mammals (rats, squirrels etc.) and birds. Besides, I am also interested in rodent-borne diseases such as leptospirosis in different habitat settings (urban, sub-urban and recreational forest) using intensive field and laboratory data. Current areas of interest include the ecology of animal hosts and sociological factors that involved in the transmission of Leptospira spp. at recreational forests (Sekayu and Lata Belatan) in Terengganu, Malaysia. Currently, I am collaborating with teams from Yale School of Public Health, USA and Federal University of Bahia, Brazil on eco-epidemiological of leptospirosis.
