Dr Art Subharat PhD

Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Epidemiology

Doctoral Supervisor
School of Veterinary Science

I have a research background in veterinary epidemiology, immunology, microbiology and molecular biology. I have been involved in livestock diseases research i.e. FMD, Leptospirosis, Johne’s disease, bovine mastitis and tuberculosis. My current research focuses on epidemiology, socio-economic impact and development of risk-based control strategies for FMD in Lao and Myanmar. I am a project manager for FMD control programme contracted by the OIE which is funded by New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the SEACFMD campaign. I am also providing international training to strengthen capability of veterinary services and capacity building for FMD control in South-East Asia.
