Animal Disease Research

Animal disease research involves studying illnesses that affect animals to understand their causes, spread, and impact. This research helps develop vaccines, treatments, and management strategies to protect animal health, which also benefits human health by controlling zoonotic diseases—those that can be transmitted from animals to people. It covers a variety of animals, from livestock to pets, aiming to improve animal welfare, food safety, and prevent economic losses. Through scientific investigation, researchers identify disease mechanisms and effective interventions, ensuring healthier animals and safer communities.
