I am a veterinary epidemiologist at the level of an Associate Professor with over 20 years of experience in both academia and industry. My broad background training is in veterinary science with areas of expertise being veterinary epidemiology, animal health economics, and biostatistics and research methods. I am a holder of BVSc (UZ, 1992), MVSc-Veterinary Epidemiology (UZ, 1995) and DPhil (UZ, 2003) degrees. Over the years I have gained substantial knowledge and expertise on the epidemiology of animal diseases. My research interests are focused on the epidemiology of zoonoses (diseases transmissible between animals and humans) and vector-borne parasitic diseases, animal diseases of economic importance and quality assurance control systems for animal food safety. I have so far published 58 peer-reviewed journal articles mainly in the field of epidemiology and two book chapters. Through my own and collaborative research and supervision of student research (both undergraduate and postgraduate), I have expanded my knowledge and expertise on the epidemiology of various animal diseases. My knowledge and expertise on the epidemiology of animal diseases and critical review of scientific articles has also increased over the years through being a peer reviewer of scientific papers submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication and examiner of theses. My vision is to promote and safeguard animal health, production and welfare and to sustain public confidence in the veterinary profession.
