Klao Runcharoon

Klao Runcharoon is a Researcher in the Department of Population Health. Their work focuses on avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) in poultry, including molecular serology, pathogen virulence, and disease epidemiology. Research emphasizes avian colibacillosis and its impact on poultry health in Georgia.

Research interests include avian pathology, bacterial pathogens, veterinary epidemiology, and infectious disease management. Their studies employ longitudinal analyses and challenge experiments to understand pathogen dynamics and disease mechanisms.

Recent publications (2025) highlight investigations into APEC serogroups, focal duodenal necrosis in layers, and the pathogenicity of E. coli O25-ST131. These studies underscore advancements in molecular diagnostic methods and bacterial virulence factors.
