Daniel Streicker

Professor Daniel Streicker is a prominent researcher at Glasgow University's Centre for Virus Research, specializing in the study of bat-borne viruses, particularly rabies. With over a decade of experience in this field, he has been instrumental in investigating the transmission dynamics of rabies among vampire bats in the Amazon. His recent work focuses on understanding the increasing spread of rabies due to climate change and land use changes, as well as developing vaccination strategies to mitigate the threat posed to both human and livestock populations. Streicker's research involves extensive fieldwork, including sampling bat populations across Peru, Colombia, and Brazil, to monitor the virus's spread and inform local communities about preventive measures.
