Andrew M. Adamu

Andrew M. Adamu is an academic affiliated with James Cook University, focusing on virology, epidemiology, and zoonotic diseases. His research emphasizes the genetic characterization of viruses, molecular epidemiology, and One Health approaches to combat infectious diseases. He has contributed significantly to understanding bat-borne viruses, rabies control, and the epidemiology of emerging pathogens like Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever and avian influenza. His work spans interdisciplinary collaborations addressing global health challenges, particularly in Nigeria and other African regions.

Key research interests include:

• Genomic and molecular analysis of viruses in wildlife and livestock
• Zoonotic disease transmission dynamics
• Public health interventions targeting vector-borne and zoonotic pathogens
• Systematic reviews on viral infections in children and livestock

His publications highlight emerging viral threats and the need for integrated surveillance systems. Recent trends show a focus on genomic characterization of novel pathogens and evaluating vaccination strategies in resource-limited settings.

Dr. Adamu’s work has advanced understanding of disease ecology in Africa, with implications for global health policy and One Health frameworks.
