One Health

Improving Lives Around the World

The One health principal encompasses human, animal, and environmental health and is covered in much of the work within the group focusing on animal health and human animal interactions.

The transmission of different diseases between animals and humans has led to major disease outbreaks over the last few years, including COVID-19, Ebola, and influenza. Therefore this work is of global importance in prevention of both animal and human infections. With expertise in various zoonotic pathogens including Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., and influenza, we are a group with wide ranging potential and research outputs.

We are keen to collaborate with other groups and always welcome emails from students, academics and industry alike from any corner of the world. We strongly believe that through a one health approach, we can work with others to improve the animal and human lives around the world.
