Within-host drivers of zoonotic disease dynamics
Project overview. Individuals are host to a diverse set of organisms, including parasite communities of helminths, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses, but how each component interacts is unclear. Read more
One-Flu: Wastewater-Guided Environmental Surveillance Platform to Understand the Ecology of Zoonotic Influenza A Virus (IAV) Threats
As evidenced by the current Covid-19 pandemic, the human population remains highly susceptible to zoonotic viral threats. Novel respiratory-borne, viral pathogens are of particular concern, given their pathogenic potential, ease of transmission, and lack of effective “off-the-shelf” pharmaceutical interventions.

Diagnostics, surveillance and environmental drivers of TB in Borneo
Tuberculosis (TB) is the second leading cause of death from infectious disease after COVID-19. In 2021, 10.6M fell ill and 1.6M died from TB. Read more
Trans-national zoonoses. The interacting role of environmental and socio-political processes on zoonotic pathogen futures.
The UK and Italy are two similarly sized European nations, yet their climates, land types and socio-political systems differ substantially. Read more
Surveillance, detection, and environmental drivers of avian influenza-like viruses in African birds
Avian influenza is highly contagious, and if it spills over into human populations, could cause future influenza pandemics. When poultry are infected, the animals should be housed under strict biosecurity measures to prevent direct or indirect contact with wild birds. Read more

Identifying sow traits for productivity, longevity and welfare
Modern sows stay for a short period of time in pig herds with approximately 50% of the herd females being replaced each year. The project aims to identify the gilt traits that aim to predict sow performance in relation to her productive potential, longevity and health and welfare. . Read more

How do parasites shape the rumen microbiome?
We are amid a global climate crisis, which requires drastic reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, there is an unprecedented demand for high quality, nutritious food to support the growing human population. Read more

Multispecies grasslands: Is this the solution to climate change and sustainable ruminant production systems?
The overall objective of Re-Livestock is to evaluate and mobilize the adoption of innovative practices applied cross-scale (animal, herd, farm, sector and region) to reduce GHG emissions from livestock farming systems and increase their capacity to deal with potential climate change impacts.

The Wonder of Algae: Effective solutions of algae extracts to reduce the environmental impact of ruminants and improve the animal performance and the quality of animal products
The PhD project aims to explore the potential of algae extracts from different seaweed species to reduce the environmental impact of ruminants, improve the animal performance and quality of animal products. Read more
