Morten Tryland

Morten Tryland is a Professor in One Health and Infection Biology at the University of Inland Norway's Faculty of Applied Ecology, Agricultural Sciences and Biotechnology, specializing in the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management at Campus Evenstad. With over 30 years of research experience, he focuses on zoonoses and infectious diseases in Arctic wildlife, particularly semi-domesticated reindeer.

• Key research areas: Zoonotic diseases, One Health, Arctic wildlife pathology
• Active projects: Reindeer health, climate change impacts, disease prevention

Research Trends (2025–2020): Morten Tryland's publications demonstrate a sustained focus on Arctic zoonoses, including Tuberculosis in South Sudan, Bovine TB in Norway, and Parapoxvirus studies. His work spans viral pathogen surveillance in reindeer, seals, and Arctic foxes, with methodologies including serology, NGS, and cross-sectional analyses. Recurring themes include climate change impacts on disease ecology, human-wildlife interactions, and One Health policy development.

Scientific Contributions:

• Over 30 peer-reviewed articles (2016–2025)
• Editor of "Arctic One Health: Challenges for Northern Animals and People" (2022)
• Key collaborations with international virology teams

Current affiliations include the One Health research group and active participation in Arctic disease surveillance networks. His work integrates traditional ecological knowledge with modern diagnostic techniques to address climate-sensitive infections.
