Willkommen
Ziel unserer Abteilung ist es, die Veterinärepidemiologie mit ihren Methoden und Anwendungen weiter zu entwickeln. Dies geschieht mithilfe von Vorlesungen und Übungen (Epidemiologie und Biostatistik) während dem Veterinärmedizinstudium und für Postgraduierte und von unseren Forschungsprojekten.
Wir bieten Unterstützung in statistischer Beratung (Datenauswertung und Study design) für Mitglieder der Vetsuisse-Fakultät Zürich an.

Animal health has major impacts on human health directly through zoonotic disease transmission, or indirectly through nutritional availability and environmental management. For human health, the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study has created a comprehensive dataset of diseases, injuries, and risk factors that is used to measure epidemiological levels and trends worldwide.
