Eric Fevre, Chair of Veterinary Infectious Diseases, University of Liverpool

Eric Fevre is a joint appointee at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and Professor of Veterinary Infectious Diseases at the Institute of Infection, Veterinary and Ecological Sciences (IVES), University of Liverpool.  He manages several field-orientated projects focussed on understand emerging disease problems and delivering solutions to those affected.  He leads a ~25-strong team of epidemiologists, biologists, veterinarians and medical practitioners interested in the biology and control of (re-)emerging diseases, particularly zoonoses.  His team has a strong interest in understanding the influence of the physical environment on pathogen transmission, and they conduct field studies to acquire a wider understanding of pathogen epidemiology, using this information to inform policy on optimal and cost-effective methods of disease control. For more information on the work of his team, see https://www.ilri.org/people/eric-fevre https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/people/eric-fevre
