Welcome to the second series of "Going Macro on Micro." In our first episode, host Dr. Julie Ann Lough and Dr. Andrew Lee, senior research fellow in microbiology at Queen's University Belfast, discuss the role of environmental epidemiology within the One Health framework. They consider how environmental sampling—particularly wastewater surveillance—can provide early warning signs for emerging zoonotic diseases and the dynamics of antimicrobial resistance. Dr. Lee shares insights from running Northern Ireland's COVID-19 wastewater surveillance program and discusses how climate change is driving the spread of zoonotic diseases into new regions. Learn how the health of humans, animals, and the environment are interconnected.
