David A. Stringfellow DVM, MS David A. Stringfellow, professor of epidemiology and microbiology, earned the D.V.M. degree in 1970 from Cornell University and the M.S. degree from Auburn University in 1982. Between 1970 and 1977, he gained experience in food animal practice with emphasis on reproduction in dairy cattle. While working for the Pennsylvania and United States Departments of Agriculture from 1977 to 1983, he acquired additional training in the epidemiology of indigenous and foreign diseases of domestic livestock.  Between 1980 and 1983 he was a post-D.V.M. research fellow at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Auburn.  Subsequently, he joined the faculty at Auburn University and currently holds a dual appointment in the Departments of Pathobiology at the College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Health Research of the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station. Dr. Stringfellow's general area of interest for over 25 years has been epidemiology of advanced reproductive technologies in food-producing animals. He is the coordinator of a course in applications of advanced reproductive techniques and co-editor of the Manual of the International Embryo Transfer Society
