Jacqui is a Professor of Veterinary Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, and Associate Head of Research at the Sydney School of Veterinary Science, at the University of Sydney. She is a registered practicing veterinarian and is passionate about practical research projects and education programs for veterinary professionals, animal breeders and animal owners. Her main research areas include: 1) Development of diagnostics and treatments for companion animal viral diseases; 2) Q fever; 3) Multidrug resistant (MDR) Staphylococcus species; 4) Infection prevention and control in veterinary practices; 5) Chronic renal disease in domestic and zoo felids and 6) Factors influencing antimicrobial prescribing behaviour of vets and health professionals. Peter graduated in veterinary science from the Royal Veterinary College, London University in 1982 and has a PhD from James Cook University (1991) for studies into canine babesiosis in Australia. He is a Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists and is a registered specialist in canine medicine. He is currently Emeritus Professor at Murdoch University in Perth. Peter has worked in academia in Australia and overseas for 30 years as a teacher of companion animal medicine and as a researcher in the fields of veterinary parasitology and medical microbiology. He is an internationally recognised expert in vector-borne diseases and is a director of the Vector and Waterborne Pathogens Research Group (the Cryptick Laboratory) at Murdoch University. After completing a BSc with a major in psychology and mathematics, Jane graduated with a BVSc(Hons) from the University of Sydney. Following some years of clinical work in private practice and at the Universities of Sydney (where she also obtained two additional postgraduate qualifications, DipVetClinStud and MVetClinStud) and Glasgow, she completed her training in Veterinary Epidemiology and Public Health through a PhD and DiplECVPH residency at the University of Glasgow. In 2009 Jane took up a faculty position at Charles Sturt University and progressed to work as an Associate Professor in Veterinary Epidemiology and Public Health, currently still holding this position as a part time appointment. Jane also works as a consultant epidemiologist within her business ‘Heller Consulting’. Jane has been involved in numerous research projects, acting as principal investigator for many of these, has published over 70 journal articles and delivered over 100 scientific presentations at national and international conferences. Jane’s main research interest is in infectious disease epidemiology, with particular reference to antimicrobial resistance and the potential for zoonotic transfer of pathogens between animals and humans. Prof. Traub graduated as a veterinarian from Murdoch University, WA in 1997 and subsequently worked in small animal practice. In 2004, she completed her PhD on canine parasitic zoonoses for which she was awarded the John Adrian Sprent Prize by the Australian Society for Parasitology. Prof. Traub was subsequently awarded a fellowship to continue her research in this field by the Australian Research Council. In 2006, she gained employment as a lecturer in Veterinary Public Health at the University of Queensland and in 2014 moved to the Melbourne Veterinary School, where she currently works as a Professor of Veterinary Parasitology and Australian Research Council Future Fellow (2021-2025). Prof. Traub has published over 145 international peer-reviewed papers and book chapters covering the diagnosis, zoonotic potential, epidemiology and control of canine endoparasites and vector- borne diseases, with much of her research based in the Asia Pacific. Dr Traub’s research expertise has been formally recognized through consultations for the WHO, FAO, OIE, The Gates Foundation, the veterinary pharmaceutical industry, and not-for-profit organisations. In 2019, she was awarded the Bancroft Mackerras Medal of Excellence by the Australian Society for Parasitology. In 2015, Prof. Traub founded the Tropical Council for Companion Animal Parasites and currently serves as the President Elect of the Australian Society for Parasitology (President, 2021-2023).
