Mark Thurmond, D.V.M., M.P.V.M., Ph.D.
 Dr.
Thurmond's interests relate to the epidemiology of infectious diseases of
cattle and to application of epidemiologic principles to prevention, control,
and eradication of diseases and infections that affect animal health and
productivity. Diseases of special interest include bovine viral diarrhea,
neosporosis, diseases of the mammary gland, abortion, and foreign animal
diseases, such as foot-and-mouth disease. Research interests in epidemiologic
methods relate to diagnostic epidemiology, particularly population-based
diagnostic approaches, modeling, surveillance, and diagnostic screening.
Dr. Thurmond received his DVM from the University of California/Davis in
1972, and the MPVM degreed from UC Davis in 1975. He received a PhD from
the University of Florida in 1982. |
