Olivier Rasolofoniaina

I am a wildlife veterinarian at Mahaliana Labs a research and training center in Madagascar, my work is dedicated to understanding disease ecology and promoting wildlife health. I focus on the intricate connections between wildlife, domestic animals, and human populations, with the goal of advancing both conservation and public health efforts.

My role involves screening for zoonotic diseases by collecting and analyzing samples from wild animals, domestic animals, and rodents. This includes fieldwork to capture and examine animals, meticulous sample processing, and the application of advanced molecular techniques such as PCR analysis. Driven by a strong commitment to One Health principles, I aim to deepen our understanding of disease transmission dynamics and support evidence-based strategies for biodiversity conservation and public health protection.
