James Wood

James Wood is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Veterinary Medicine. His research focuses on zoonotic infections, the human-animal interface, One Health, pandemic emergence, and neglected diseases. He employs mathematical and statistical modelling alongside multidisciplinary approaches to study infectious disease dynamics. Wood's work emphasizes the importance of understanding disease transmission across species and its implications for public health.

James Wood is a researcher at the University of Cambridge specializing in infectious diseases, zoonoses, and epidemiology. His work explores the epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics of pathogens, with a focus on zoonotic viruses and their transmission between species. Wood's research includes studies on bats and rodents as reservoirs of zoonotic viruses, the global transmission of cholera, and the role of wildlife in emerging infectious diseases. He has also investigated perioperative fatalities in animals and the ecology of zoonotic diseases in bats. His contributions emphasize the One Health approach, integrating human, animal, and environmental health to understand and control infectious diseases.
