Rate My Professor Mathieu Pruvot

Mathieu Pruvot is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Calgary. He received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in France, where he specialized in veterinary epidemiology and the epidemiological surveillance of tropical diseases. He completed an MSc in epidemiology and biostatistics in France, with research conducted at the University of California, Davis. In 2014, he earned a PhD from the University of Calgary focused on assessing the risk of pathogen transmission between wildlife and livestock in western Canada.

Following his doctoral studies, Pruvot worked as a veterinary epidemiologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society from 2014 to 2020, based first in Cambodia for four years and subsequently at Colorado State University for two years, where he also served as an affiliate faculty member in the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Biology. He maintains an affiliation with the Wildlife Conservation Society as a wildlife epidemiologist on global projects. His research addresses disease and health ecology, pathogen spillover at the wildlife-livestock interface, wildlife-livestock contact structure, anthropogenic factors of pathogen emergence, global wildlife disease surveillance, and the environmental sustainability of livestock production. Pruvot’s work follows One Health principles and involves multidisciplinary collaboration on projects such as the ecology of invasive wild boar and pathogen transmission, wildlife health intelligence networks, and the ecology of the giant liver fluke in elk.
