Research Area 2: Increased understanding of the impacts of climate change
It is important both nationally and internationally to determine the epidemiology of infections affecting animal health with the effect of global warming, to detect new bacterial zoonoses, and to raise awareness about vector-mediated bacterial diseases and possible zoonotic pandemics. Investigation of these diseases in livestock and pet animals that are directly related to humans will open up early detection methods and ways of protection against these diseases, as well as predict possible new infections. For these purposes, we are seeking project partnerships in epidemiological research, diagnostic kit, and vaccine studies.
Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University Milas Veterinary Faculty is a newly established faculty. Although it is a new faculty, there is a research laboratory in the Faculty where bacteriology and molecular analyzes can be carried out, and university and TÜBİTAK supported projects are carried out in this existing laboratory. In addition, Muğla province is located in a location in the Aegean region of Turkey, where many tropical infections are seen more and more due to the effect of global warming.
