Research Interests
Animal influenza virus
Epidemiology and ecology of animal influenza virus by tracking the emergence and transmission of animal influenza virus in environment, animal, and human, focusing on the impact of influenza virus on domestic animals and its public health hazards, revealing the mechanism of virus pathogenicity and interspecies transmission, so as to explore the key risk factors of animal influenza virus transmission in the ecosystem, and to provide a theoretical basis for scientific prevention and control of zoonotic diseases such as animal influenza.
