Prof. Dr. Gholamreza Mohammad | Infectious Diseases | Excellence in Field Epidemiology Award

Prof. Dr. Gholamreza Mohammadi is a distinguished veterinary and infectious disease researcher at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran, recognized for his multidisciplinary contributions to zoonotic diseases, epidemiology, and animal health. With 43 scientific publications and more than 470 citations, he has established a strong academic footprint marked by rigorous field investigations, molecular analyses, and collaborative research across human and animal health sectors. His work spans major zoonotic pathogens—including Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, Trypanosoma evansi, Cryptosporidium spp., and respiratory disorders in livestock—reflecting a sustained commitment to advancing One Health principles. Recent studies such as the longitudinal assessment of ultrasonographic lung consolidation in dairy calves, molecular insights into T. evansi in camels, and epidemiological evaluations of Cryptosporidium in lamb populations underscore his expertise in combining diagnostics, molecular epidemiology, and field surveillance. His collaborative record, with more than 90 co-authors, highlights active engagement in interdisciplinary networks that bridge veterinarians, microbiologists, epidemiologists, and public health specialists. Prof. Dr. Mohammadi’s research has contributed to improved disease detection, evidence-based livestock management, and enhanced understanding of cross-species disease transmission in northeastern Iran—an area of regional and global relevance due to its diverse ecological and agricultural systems. His open-access publications, including contributions to Scientific Reports, further demonstrate his commitment to knowledge dissemination and scientific transparency. Through sustained productivity, high-impact collaborations, and a focus on diseases that threaten both animal productivity and human well-being, Prof. Dr. Mohammadi continues to play a pivotal role in strengthening disease surveillance and shaping strategies for zoonotic disease prevention and control at the global level.
