Bethany Jackson is a Lecturer at Murdoch University, affiliated with the School of Veterinary Medicine (College of Environmental and Life Sciences) and the Centre for Biosecurity and One Health at the Harry Butler Institute. Her research focuses on wildlife health dynamics in the context of environmental change, particularly exploring how wildlife health interacts with regional and global ecosystems. She emphasizes the role of paraprofessional organizations (e.g., conservation NGOs, wildlife care centers) as passive surveillance partners in monitoring wildlife health.
Her work integrates epidemiology, veterinary medicine, and conservation biology, with recent studies addressing antimicrobial resistance in wildlife, tuberculosis in captive bears, and disease dynamics in threatened species like Carnaby’s Cockatoo. She collaborates with interdisciplinary teams to address One Health challenges, including pandemic risk management and zoonotic disease governance.
Key research trends in her publications include wildlife disease surveillance, emerging pathogens in reptiles and mammals, and the application of genomic and diagnostic tools to understand infectious diseases. Her work underscores the interconnectedness of animal, human, and environmental health, particularly in conservation contexts.
While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, her contributions to wildlife health and One Health frameworks reflect her impact in these fields. Her teaching and supervision activities are integral to Murdoch University’s veterinary and environmental programs, though specific grants or student advisories are not detailed here.
Bethany Jackson is actively involved in conservation initiatives, such as the Bat Research & Conservation project, and contributes to the Harry Butler Institute’s mission to address ecological and health challenges through innovative research.
