Research
My research focuses on the epidemiological methods/tools and their practical application to emerging and endemic animal and zoonotic pathogens particularly in developing countries. Areas of interest include disease surveillance, risk assessment, spatial epidemiology, infectious disease modelling, animal movements and value chains. My current work on avian influenza is focused on identifying factors (including the role of live animal markets) associated with H5N1 HPAI virus persistence in endemic areas of Indonesia. My research on transboundary animal diseases such as Peste de Petite Ruminant, foot and mouth disease examines national and global control options via modelling. Another area of research focuses on best practice approaches for early warning and risk assessment for animal diseases in developing countries.
