OverviewAI-generated summary
Zelalem Mekuria's research focuses on microbial epidemiology and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance at the interface of humans, animals, and the environment. Mekuria has investigated the prevalence and genetic diversity of pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and Rotavirus A, in clinical specimens and animal populations, primarily in Ethiopia. Recent work has examined SARS-CoV-2 co-detection with other respiratory viruses in Ethiopia and explored the challenges and opportunities of using omics approaches for One Health issues in tropical settings. Mekuria also studies host clustering of enteric pathogens in infant and livestock cohorts. Mekuria's work is supported by collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Nishank Jain, Rahaf Omaish, and Abedalrahman Almashayekh.
