Rate My Professor Chengming Wang

Wang's research focuses on antimicrobial resistance, molecular diagnosis, and vector-borne agents with zoonotic importance. His laboratory emphasizes developing methods for accurate and rapid pathogen detection in veterinary and zoonotic contexts. He has contributed extensively to the scientific literature, with publications including "A Simple Yet Reliable 12S rRNA-Based Molecular Approach for Identifying Bat Species" (Animals, 2025), "Epidemiology and risk factors of equine parvovirus-hepatitis, hepacivirus, Pegivirus caballi, and Pegivirus equi in horses from the Southern United States" (Veterinary Microbiology, 2026), "Chlamydia pecorum Infection Associated with Ocular Disease in Goats in Alabama, USA" (Microorganisms, 2025), and "Nationwide seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant and five Omicron sublineages in companion cats and dogs in the USA" (Emerging Microbes & Infections, 2025). Earlier notable works encompass "Newly identified colistin resistance genes, mcr-4 and mcr-5, in swabs from upper and lower alimentary tract of pigs and poultry in China" (PLoS One, 2018) and "Identification and characterization of mcr mediated colistin resistance in extraintestinal Escherichia coli from poultry and livestock in China" (FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2017). His scholarly impact is evidenced by over 5,600 citations and an h-index of 44 on Google Scholar. Wang also serves as a contact for the Pathobiology Graduate Research Scholars Program, mentoring PhD students in advanced research rotations.
