Biography

I am an entomologist & epidemiologist with 3 decades of experience researching vector-borne diseases (VBDs) of animals and humans. Major areas of research have included the control of tsetse flies in Kenya, the midge vectors of viral diseases of animals, and transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. I took up the Chair in Veterinary Epidemiology at the University of Liverpool in 2005. With Fellowship funding from the Leverhulme Trust, in 2007 I established the Liverpool University Climate and Infectious Diseases of Animals group (LUCINDA) which undertakes research into midge and mosquito-borne arboviruses (inc. bluetongue, West Nile, Japanese encephalitis, dengue, Zika), plague, tick-borne diseases and liver fluke, and is also using Big Data approaches to develop a deeper understanding of the interactions of pathogens and hosts.

I am the PI of the £8.8 m GCRF Grow award project “One Health Regional Network in the Horn of Africa (HORN)” which aims to build capacity in the area of One Health - the impact of health of animals and the environment on human health and livelihoods - in Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia.
