Marta Canuti is a dedicated virologist with extensive experience in virus epidemiogenetics, ecology, and evolution. Her primary research focuses on virus discovery and metagenomics, as well as the ecology of (parvo)viruses in wildlife and at the wildlife–domestic animal interface. She uses genomic data to investigate virus evolution, transmission dynamics, cross-species transmission, and the spread of viruses across both local and global borders. In the context of pandemic preparedness and global health, she studies disease emergence and vector-borne viruses, particularly in relation to climate change. She is also actively involved in virus taxonomy as a member of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).
