Overview

Sharon C. Tolliver was affiliated with the University of Kentucky in the United States and contributed to research primarily within the field of Environmental Science. Their work explored subfields including Infectious Diseases, Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, and Water Science and Technology.

The research topics covered in Tolliver's publications centered on SARS-CoV-2 detection and testing, biosensors and analytical detection, advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques, wastewater treatment and reuse, as well as fecal contamination and water quality.

Two recent papers attributed to Tolliver reflect interdisciplinary approaches involving public health and environmental monitoring. The first paper, published in 2024 in the Journal of Water and Health, was titled "An evaluation of a new rapid qPCR test for the detection of 2019-novel coronavirus nucleocapsid (N1) gene in wastewater in Roanoke and Salem VA sewersheds." This work focused on novel methods for viral gene detection in wastewater systems relevant to public health surveillance.

The second paper, published in 2025 in Open Forum Infectious Diseases, was titled "P-1301. Pilot Study Utilizing Wastewater-Based Epidemiology to Determine Presence of Gram-Negative Enterobacterial Targets in Southwest Virginia Sewersheds." This study utilized wastewater-based epidemiology to assess bacterial contaminants, contributing to understanding infectious disease monitoring through environmental samples.

The scientist frequently collaborated with several coauthors, including Lia Willow Lehrer, Sara Houser, and Jayasimha Rao, each of whom appeared in multiple joint publications. Additional collaborators included A Lewis and Marcia J. Degen, reflecting a network of interdisciplinary cooperation.

The venues that hosted Tolliver's research were specialized journals focused on water health and infectious diseases, specifically the Journal of Water and Health and Open Forum Infectious Diseases.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For students interested in Animal Science and Veterinary fields, exploring related online degrees can broaden career opportunities. Programs like a behavioral analysis degree offer valuable skills in understanding and modifying animal and human behavior, which is especially relevant in veterinary behavioral health.

Similarly, accredited mental health programs provide strong career pathways. Pursuing school psychology programs online accredited by nasp equips graduates to support the psychological well-being of educational communities, including those involved in animal-assisted therapy initiatives.

For a clinical focus in psychology related to veterinary patients and owners, online apa-accredited psyd programs provide advanced training without the GRE hurdle. This is ideal for professionals seeking to enhance their credentials while working.

Additionally, as addiction issues impact both humans and animals, studying at accredited online colleges for drug and alcohol counseling can prepare graduates to address substance abuse challenges in diverse settings, including veterinary clinics.

Exploring these interconnected disciplines can help build a versatile skill set, opening doors to specialized roles within animal science and veterinary careers.
