Naomi Cogger
- Epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in two and three year old Australian thoroughbred racehorses (2006)
Naomi Cogger is an Australian–New Zealand epidemiologist, and is a full professor at Massey University, specialising in the epidemiology of animal diseases that impact animal and human health, and food security.
Academic career
Cogger completed a PhD titled Epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in two and three year old Australian thoroughbred racehorses at the University of Sydney in 2006.[1] Cogger then joined the faculty of Massey University, and was appointed Professor of Epidemiology in 2022.[2] Cogger is the Director of Massey's EpiCentre, which was established in 1986 as an "international focus group for veterinary epidemiology and public health".[2][3]
Cogger's research focuses on animal disease epidemiology, especially those diseases that impact animal and human health.[2] She develops surveillance strategies for animal disease, including involvement in designing a new surveillance system for the UK for Trichinella, and conducts risk analysis for animal product importation. Cogger has also developed and delivered training programmes for medical and veterinary staff to recognise and respond to diseases.[2][4] Cogger initially worked on diseases that impact equine health, and injuries and conditions affecting racehorses. She has also researched issues affecting working and service dogs, and more recently has applied her research to plant diseases.[5]
Cogger is part of the Asia Pacific Consortium of Veterinary Epidemiology (APCOVE), a collaboration established to improve the capacity for veterinary disease detection in the region.[4][6]
