Rate My Professor Mieghan Bruce

Bruce has made significant contributions to animal health through her involvement in the Global Burden of Animal Diseases (GBADs) programme, where she helps develop metrics such as the Animal Health Loss Envelope to quantify farm-level costs of disease. Her key publications include “Quantifying cost of disease in livestock: a new metric for the Global Burden of Animal Diseases” (The Lancet Planetary Health, 2024), “Scaling up One Health: A network analysis in Lao PDR” (One Health, 2024), “Prevalence and correlates of health care utilization for non-communicable diseases in South Asia” (2025), “A spatial autocorrelation method for Taenia solium risk mapping” (2023), “Single institution retrospective study evaluating the frequency of antimicrobial resistance genes in Clostridioides difficile” (BMC Veterinary Research, 2023), and “Patterns and determinants of healthcare utilization and catastrophic health expenditure for non-communicable diseases” (2024). In 2022, she received Murdoch University’s Vice-Chancellor’s Excellence Award. Bruce leads training modules for the APCOVE programme, coordinates the ASEAN-Australia One Health Fellowship, supervises PhD students on topics including brucellosis and non-communicable diseases, and contributes to policy-relevant research on antimicrobial resistance and sustainable livestock production.
