​Welcome to the Nieto Lab at
​Northern Arizona University

Investigating the Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases

Our research focuses on the ecological maintenance and evolution of infectious diseases in wild animals and how this translates into transmission of disease to humans, domestic animals, and wildlife. We use a mixture of microbiology, molecular biology, phylogenetics and population ecology to investigate empirical infectious disease dynamics in wild animal populations. Much of our work is conducted on reservoirs or the identification of reservoir hosts.
As many of you already know, after a long hard battle with pancreatic cancer, Nate passed away June 16th. He had quite a presence in the science world and everybody he met loved him. So, in order to memorialize him we, the Nieto lab, (organized by Nieto Lab member, Peter Motyka) set up a fundraiser selling Nieto Lab gear. Represent the Nieto Lab and support Nate's research. Any funds raised by the sale of these t-shirts (with an awesome logo only Nate could inspire and designed by Jackie Parker-below) will go towards Nate's unfinished research projects and to his orphaned graduate students who want to carry on his legacy. Nate may be gone, but his research will continue to live. For more information, contact Molly (mjb628@nau.edu) or Pete (pjm232@nau.edu)
