Understanding Vector-Borne Disease with Dr. Kathryn Dalton
Ticks, mosquitoes, and climate change are shaping the future of infectious disease and public health.
In this episode, host Lauren Lavin talks with Dr. Kathryn Dalton, a veterinarian turned researcher and assistant professor at the University of Iowa College of Public Health, about the rise of vector borne diseases. Dr. Dalton explains how environmental changes are expanding the reach of ticks and mosquitoes, what that means for both people and pets, and how the One Health approach connects human, animal, and environmental well-being.
Together, they explore simple ways to prevent exposure, why farmers and outdoor workers face unique risks, and how collaboration across disciplines can help protect communities from emerging health threats. It is a reminder that public health begins in the spaces we live, work, and play every day.
