Breakfast Club 32: Thursday, 24th April

Prof. Kristien Van Reeth – Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Translational Physiology, Infectiology and Public Health, Ghent University, Belgium

Title: Emerging Porcine influenza and coronaviruses

Prof. Tom McNeilly – Scientific Director of the Moredun Research Institute and Chief Executive of the Moredun Foundation, UK

Title: Q-Net-Assess: Development of a pan-European network to understand how Coxiella burnetii genotype determines pathogenicity and zoonotic potential

Join us for a deep dive into the genomic landscape of emerging zoonotic threats in this two-part webinar. The first talk explores the evolution and surveillance of porcine influenza viruses and coronaviruses, highlighting their potential to cross species barriers and pose risks to both animal and human health. The second presentation introduces Q-Net-Assess, a collaborative pan-European initiative focused on understanding how genetic variation in Coxiella burnetii influences its pathogenicity and zoonotic potential. This webinar offers valuable insights for researchers, public health professionals, and anyone interested in One Health approaches to infectious disease.
