Eric Ryan Burrough

Dr. Burrough’s primary research focus is on Brachyspira-associated colitis of swine with projects investigating pathogenesis and the development of improved diagnostic techniques.  Dr. Burrough also has previous and ongoing projects investigating pathogenesis and prevention of ovine campylobacteriosis.
