معرفی
Dr. Nick Wheelhouse is an Affiliate Researcher at the University of Glasgow's School of Biodiversity, One Health & Veterinary Medicine. His research focuses on infectious disease epidemiology with a particular emphasis on zoonotic pathogens and livestock health in tropical regions. He leads projects involving molecular detection methods and disease surveillance in East Africa.
Research Interests:
Wheelhouse's work bridges veterinary medicine and public health, addressing zoonotic disease transmission dynamics. He has conducted field studies on livestock abortion etiologies and Q fever (Coxiella burnetii) in wildlife-livestock interfaces. His methods include molecular diagnostics and epidemiological cohort studies.
Publications Overview:
Recent work highlights livestock abortion surveillance in Tanzania, revealing critical insights into pathogen prioritization and diagnostic sample timing. His studies also uncover unexpected disease agents in livestock and small mammal reservoirs.
Collaborations:
Wheelhouse collaborates with Tanzanian institutions and global researchers, evidenced by multi-authored publications and data collection initiatives like the 2020 small mammal infection study. No specific grants or advising roles are documented in the provided text.
Labs/Teams:
While specific lab affiliations are not stated, his participation in field-based molecular detection projects suggests involvement with veterinary microbiology and epidemiology research groups.
