Mark Bronsvoort

Biography

Dr. MARK Bronsvoort is affiliated to Department of Genetics and Genomics, Roslin Institute, where Dr. MARK Bronsvoort is currently working as Professor . Dr. MARK Bronsvoort has authored and co-authored several national and international publications and also working as a reviewer for reputed professional journals. Dr. MARK Bronsvoort is having an active association with different societies and academies around the world. Dr. MARK Bronsvoort made his mark in the scientific community with the contributions and widely recognition from honourable subject experts around the world. Dr. MARK Bronsvoort has received several awards for the contributions to the scientific community. Dr. MARK Bronsvoort major research interest involves The group currently works on a number of infectious disease projects in Africa, as well as the UK. One of the main areas of interest is the foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) epidemiology in endemic countries, with on going work on diagnostic test evaluation, modelling surveillance, molecular epidemiology and phylogeography and evaluation of surveillance activities. We collaborate with Mission Rabies and World Veterinary Services providing technical epidemiological support for vaccination and neurtering programmes in Malawi and India. We are part of a Scottish Consortium providing expert advice and technical support to the Scottish Government on exotic disease outbreaks and I lead the surveillance topic within this pregramme. I also have been working on bovine tuberculosis epidemiology in Cameroon and the United Kingdom, looking particularly at diagnostic test performance, coinfections with liver fluke and using molecular epidemiological tools to understand transmission and spread. Finally I am also a programme coordinator for the Centre for Tropical Livestock Genetics and Health (CTLGH) focusing on identifying and exploiting genetic variation in disease resistance and tolerance to improve disease control in Africa..
