Claire Becker

Claire Becker serves as a Teacher-researcher at VetAgro Sup's National Veterinary School of Lyon, affiliated with the Department of Animal Health and Welfare and the UMR MYCO (Animal Mycoplasmas) research unit. Her clinical work integrates with the Veterinary University Hospital Center (CHUV) for production animals and the Livestock Hospitalization Service.

Her research focuses on veterinary infectious diseases with specialized expertise in:

• Mycoplasma bovis epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance in bovine respiratory outbreaks
• Babesia transmission dynamics and molecular markers in tick vectors
• Livestock pathology and population medicine approaches for ruminant health

Analysis of her 2007-2020 publications reveals consistent emphasis on molecular diagnostics for pathogens like contagious agalactia and Q fever, with recent work prioritizing antimicrobial resistance monitoring in calf feedlots. Her methodology combines field epidemiology with laboratory techniques including PCR validation and genetic diversity assessment.

Becker leads 3A modules in Livestock Pathology and Charolais Customer Services, bridging clinical practice at the CHUV with her research on bacterial and parasitic pathogens affecting livestock production systems.
