Introduction
I am a veterinary public health consultant and microbiologist specialising in food safety, zoonotic infectious diseases, and research. I am currently a food safety consultant for Export Barbados. I was previously a lecturer at the UWI, where I directed the daily operations of the Leptospira Reference Laboratory. The focus of my work has been on Leptospirosis, Dengue Fever, Salmonella, E. coli O157, and Campylobacter. I am based in Kuala Lumpur.

The seroprevalence of leptospirosis in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) reared for meat in semi-intensive and extensive managed farms in Trinidad was determined. All sera were tested for specifi c antibodies against 17 internationally recognized serovars of Leptospira using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). Animals with titres greater or equ...
Leptospirosis is a febrile zoonosis of worldwide distribution. A latex agglutination assay was evaluated in two studies, the first using a panel of well-characterized sera from patients with leptospirosis and from patients with other disease states and the second, a prospective hospital-based study, evaluating sera from 186 consecutive patients adm...
A sero-epidemiological study on canine leptospirosis was conducted in house, stray, farm and hunting dogs, as well as in suspect cases of clinical canine leptospirosis. Serum samples were collected from apparently healthy (vaccinated and non-vaccinated), house dogs. A questionnaire was administered to the owners to elicit information on risk factor...
