Ware.[3]

Career and research

Donnelly's research investigates statistical and biomathematical methods to analyse epidemiological patterns of infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),[12][13] Influenza A virus subtype H1N1,[14][15] and Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS),[16] Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), the Ebola virus disease,[17] zoonoses and HIV/AIDS.[18] She has interests in ecology, conservation, and animal welfare[8] having worked on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)[19] and Foot-and-mouth disease[20] in cattle, bovine tuberculosis and policies regarding badger culling in the United Kingdom.[21][22][23]
