Overview

The School of Biodiversity, One Health, and Veterinary Medicine has considerable strengths in epidemiology, particularly in the areas of quantitative modelling, genetic analysis, surveillance, immunology and vaccinology, antimicrobial resistance, vector ecology and one-health approaches to disease management.

Features

Much of our focus is on endemic and 'neglected' diseases, pathogens of veterinary importance, zoonoses, and studying the biology of these pathogens in their natural context, particularly in developing countries.

At University of Glasgow, we take a highly interdisciplinary approach to the study of Infectious Disease, recognising that epidemiology is very much the ecology of infectious diseases, and thereby benefiting greatly from overlap with strengths in spatial and quantitative ecology.

Programme Structure

Specific areas of interest include:

infectious disease dynamics in wild and domestic animal populations

wildlife diseases and conservation

network analysis of disease spread

phylodynamics

model-based statistical inference using Bayesian approaches

vector biology, ecology and control

life-history trade-offs and the sustainable control of malaria
