Author Biography

Sasan Fereidouni (DVM, PhD, Habil.) is affiliated with Research Institute of Wildlife Ecology, University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna. The major part of his scientific career has been based on identification and monitoring of wild bird diseases and infections, especially those that may affect the populations and, in many cases, have the potential to transmit to mammalian species including humans. Wildlife conservation using a One-Health approach is his main challenge to change the perception of the importance of nature conservation and its direct effect on emerging infections and to stop anthropogenic disturbances of wildlife and their habitats.
