Towards a biosecurity system to manage the threat of Avian Influenza in Nigeria
Avian influenza (AI) is a highly contagious and devastating zoonotic disease and the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasize the importance of surveillance in both animal and human populations to detect and respond to outbreaks promptly. Read more
Assessing the potential for aerosol transmission of zoonoses within critical environments
Zoonoses with the potential to cause pandemics face two fundamental obstacles. The first is transfer between species boundaries, from reservoirs to immunologically naïve new hosts, and the second is efficient transmission between members of the new host population. Read more
Examining the potential of environmental DNA analysis and enhanced biosecurity for the management of Zoonotic Iceberg Diseases on Sheep Farms
Are you ambitious, driven and passionate about animal health and the agricultural industry? We are seeking a highly motivated and ambitious candidate to… Read more
Improved Detection of Bovine Tuberculosis Infected Cattle using Artificial Intelligence
Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) is caused by M. bovis which can also infect humans and many other mammals. Thus, M. bovis is a One Health threat as a zoonotic infection and, by its effect on cattle productivity, a threat to food security. Read more
Deep Learning in Remotely Sensed Image Understanding for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at the University of Reading*. Remote sensing technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), offer a large amount of high-resolution images in monitoring impact of climate change and habitat destruction on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Read more
Environmental monitoring of agricultural run-off as potential sources of animal and zoonotic diseases
Faecal waste from livestock can be stored as slurry for use as fertilizer applied to pasture and crops to support production. Read more
The role of the rural veterinarian in optimizing animal health, enhancing human wellbeing and ensuring environmental sustainability
Farmers are essential for ensuring livestock production and food security and, as managers of over 70% of available land, are environmental custodians. Read more
