Anna Salvaggiulo, DVM, PhD, is a Veterinary Officer at the Regional Veterinary Epidemiological Observatory (OEVR) of the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale della Puglia e della Basilicata, Italy. She obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Bari Aldo Moro and subsequently completed a PhD in Animal Health and Zoonosis, as well as a postgraduate specialization in Infectious Diseases, Prophylaxis and Veterinary Public Health. She is currently enrolled in the European College of Veterinary Microbiology (ECVM) residency programme. Her research focuses on veterinary virology and microbiology, with particular interests in feline infectious diseases, virus discovery, molecular diagnostics, emerging zoonotic pathogens, and molecular epidemiology. Her scientific activities include the molecular and genomic surveillance of emerging and vector-borne viruses, metagenomic approaches for virus discovery, and the investigation of infectious disease dynamics at the animal–human–environment interface. Her work integrates veterinary microbiology, molecular epidemiology, genomic analysis and One Health approaches to improve the detection, characterization and surveillance of infectious diseases in animal populations. She also contributes to research on antimicrobial resistance in veterinary pathogens and has a particular interest in the application of genomic and molecular tools to veterinary public health and epidemiological surveillance.
