Ruth's main research interest is the epidemiology of infectious diseases of production animals, with emphasis on bacterial pathogens and parasites of comparative relevance to humans. In this 30 minute lecture Ruth describes the origins of her interests and the strong interdisciplinary approaches she has developed to pursue them. Such capacity to work with and across disciplines is at the heart of practice and philosophy within the Institute, emphasised by a recently launched interdisciplinary BBSRC-DfID funded research project, 'Hazards Associated with Zoonotic enteric pathogens in Emerging Livestock meat pathways (HAZEL)'.
