Andréia G. Arruda

Andréia G. Arruda's research focuses on the epidemiology of infectious diseases in livestock, particularly swine, including viruses like PRRSV, influenza A, and porcine circoviruses, and how they spread and are detected across farms and regions. Her work also extends to animal welfare topics such as euthanasia practices, biosecurity, farm environment quality, and food safety, often incorporating surveys of farmers and workers to understand knowledge and attitudes. A student in this group would likely work on projects blending disease surveillance data analysis with applied, real-world livestock management and welfare questions.

Publication output has grown fairly steadily over the last decade, rising from about 5-7 papers per year in 2017-2020 to 11-18 per year in 2022-2025.
