Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zelalem Mekuria's research investigates the molecular evolution and epidemiology of various viruses, with a particular focus on equine herpesviruses and avian reoviruses. Mekuria has explored the dynamics of molecular evolution in avian reoviruses through point mutations and genetic re-assortment, contributing to understanding how these viruses change over time. The researcher has also studied the association of Equine Herpesvirus 5 with respiratory disease in horses and mapped B lymphocytes as reservoirs for latent equine herpesvirus 5 infection. Further work has examined intrahost selection pressure driving Equine Arteritis Virus evolution during persistent infection.

Mekuria's research extends to public health in Ethiopia, including studies on antimicrobial resistance and virulence gene profiles of Staphylococcus aureus and knowledge and practice of breast self-examination among undergraduate students. Collaborations at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include shared publications with Nishank Jain, Rahaf Omaish, Abedalrahman Almashayekh, and Toshali Pandey. Mekuria has published 37 papers, with an h-index of 8 and 208 citations.
