Eric Fevre

Eric Fevre is a joint appointee at ILRI and Professor of Veterinary Infectious Diseases at the Institute of Infection, Ecology and Veterinary Sciences, University of Liverpool.  He manages field-orientated projects focussed on zoonotic infections, adopting a highly interdisciplinary approach, with an equal focus on the human, livestock, non-livestock animal and environmental components of transmission systems.  Work in his team spans basic biology, surveillance, epidemiology, social impacts of disease, urbanization and agricultural system change, and team members are epidemiologists, biologists, social scientists, veterinarians and medical practitioners.  As a group, we focus on understanding the factors involved in emergence, risk, transmission, persistence, spread, and disease burden of pathogens in both human and animal populations.  We also have a strong interest in understanding the influence of the physical environment on pathogen transmission, as well as the development of policy for optimal and cost-effective disease control.  We are also funded to implement national scale projects at the interface between science and development.
