Biography

James E. Futse is currently working as a Lecturer in Department of Animal Science, University of Ghana.

Research Intrest

His research interests are understading 1) vector-borne disease transmission, 2) molecular mechanisms of pathogen persistence in the mammalian host, 3) antigenic properties and immunologic characteristics of Outer Membrane Proteins [Omp] of the pathogen strains and the consequences for vaccine development. He is currently initiating research addressing diversity of the outer membrane proteins (Omp) of A. marginale in Ghana cattle as preparation for his project development in the West African sub-region.
