Overview
Background
Josh Aleri has advanced training in epidemiology, bovine population medicine and animal welfare. He has extensive research experience in veterinary public health and one health, applied infectious disease epidemiology and dairy cattle population medicine.
His research focuses on the eradication of zoonotic disases, reducing antimicrobial resistance and usage, improving dairy cattle population medicine (calf health, milk quality, mastitis), cattle biosecurity systems and investigating all facets of ruminant infectious disease epidemiology in Australia and overseas.
Professor Aleri is a recipient to a number of international recognitions such as the 2018 Ruminant Well-being Award, 2016 Victorian Farmers Research Award, and 2014 Gustav Rosenberger Memorial Award.
