Veterinary epidemiologists apply statistical modelling, surveillance design, and field investigation methods to understand disease transmission in animal and human populations. They work for research institutes, government health agencies, international organisations, and livestock development programmes. Their responsibilities include analysing surveillance data, identifying risk factors, designing field studies, and advising on policy interventions. With rising global biosecurity concerns and emerging infections, the role has become critical to national and international health systems. Strong quantitative skills, scientific reasoning, and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential for this role.
