Dr. Kutz’s research focuses on understanding the biodiversity, impacts, and response to climate change of pathogens in Arctic and Subarctic wildlife and the pathogen-related interactions between people and wildlife and wildlife and domestic animals. Related to this research, she is developing community-based programs for long term monitoring and early detection of changes in the health of remote wildlife populations. She is co-founder of a successful program for outreach, education, and community-based monitoring of wildlife health in the Northwest Territories (http://wildlife1.usask.ca/Sahtu/).
