Research title: Epidemiology of the enteric protozoan parasite Giardia

Research Summary

I am a public health veterinarian and researcher. My background and interests span a variety of topics within 'one health', including zoonosis transmission modelling, disease control interventions, food hygiene, official veterinary controls, and antimicrobial resistance.

I am a Resident of the European College of Veterinary Public Health (ECVPH) at the University of Glasgow. The ECVPH Residency programme provides specialised training in veterinary public health, including epidemiology, biostatistics, food safety, risk assessment, and disease control. In my Residency, I contribute to several research projects, including the epidemiology and economics of brucellosis control in northern Tanzania, the epidemiology of hoof lesions in Sicilian dairy farms, and the genomics of feline calicivirus in the UK.
