About

Dr. Anne Conan completed her DVM and MSc in epidemiological surveillance in 2008. She worked at the Public Health and Epidemiology Department in Pasteur Institute in Cambodia during 5 years. Her projects focused on H5N1 avian influenza and Newcastle disease in backyard poultry flocks, and on chikungunya and dengue in human. 

After completing her PhD in Epidemiology in 2013, Dr Conan started a post doctorate fellowship at the Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases at the University of Pretoria (South Africa). She worked on health and demographic surveillance systems in cattle and dogs in underserved communities, and she coordinated field activities for a Community Program at the border of the Kruger National Park. 

Dr Conan joined Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2015 as a post doctorate fellow. Her research focuses on dog population and rabies. She also participates in many projects on amongst other leptospirosis, anaplasma, ehrlichia, heartworm and wildlife conservation. 

Dr. Conan is currently faculty at City University of Hong Kong.
