Dr. Michael Walsh is a Senior Lecturer in the Sydney School of Public Health at the University of Sydney and Co-Lead of the One Health Node. He is affiliated with the Sydney Institute for Infectious Diseases, Sydney Institute of Agriculture, and Sydney Southeast Asia Centre. His work focuses on landscape epidemiology and One Health approaches to zoonotic diseases, particularly at wildlife-livestock-human interfaces.
Research interests include zoonotic pathogen ecology, disease spillover mechanisms, and interventions at anthropogenic landscape interfaces. Current projects involve biosurveillance of zoonoses in India and Australia, climate-driven arbovirus dynamics, and urban ecology impacts on disease.
Teaching includes PUBH5400 One Health and PUBH5300 Infectious Disease Epidemiology. He has taught for 21 years at institutions including NYU and the University of Sydney.
Publications emphasize JE virus epidemiology, Kyasanur Forest disease, and Rift Valley fever. Key grants include a biosurveillance collaboration in India (2018) and a food safety initiative (2017).
His lab (EpiBio) explores transdisciplinary solutions to emerging zoonoses, with fieldwork in deforested regions and high-risk agricultural zones.
