One health

Research on animal health and veterinary public health carried out through a One Health approach.

The research activities range from the etiological, pathogenetic, diagnostic, and prophylactic aspects of transmissible diseases to the pathological, toxicological, and therapeutic aspects concerning farm, companion, and wild animals, including aquatic species.

These studies are conducted through epidemiological, morphological, molecular, histological, immunohistochemical, and chemical-pharmacological approaches, with particular attention to veterinary public health, the study of pathogens and their epidemiology and ecology, the assessment of consumer risks related to the use of products of animal origin and close contact with companion animals, antimicrobial resistance, and translational medicine research.
