Michael Ghebremariam

Dr. Michael Ghebremariam is a Lecturer in Veterinary Gross Pathology at the University of Glasgow's College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences. His work focuses on zoonotic diseases, particularly brucellosis and bovine tuberculosis in livestock, with extensive research in Eritrea. He investigates disease prevalence, risk factors, and community practices to improve public health and veterinary interventions.

Research interests include infectious disease ecology, One Health approaches, and the epidemiology of zoonotic pathogens in livestock systems. He has published widely on Brucella and Mycobacterium bovis infections in Eritrean cattle, goats, and camels, emphasizing genetic profiling and risk mitigation strategies.

Key contributions include identifying the first Brucella abortus and B. melitensis cases in Eritrean livestock, analyzing dairy sector risk factors for bovine tuberculosis, and assessing community knowledge around zoonotic diseases. His work bridges veterinary science, public health, and agricultural practices to address emerging infectious threats.
