Biographical details
Jacqui graduated with a BVSc (Hons) from the University of Sydney and spent her first two years of clinical practice completing a small animal medicine and surgery residency program and clinical Masters at the University of Melbourne. She returned to the University of Sydney to complete a PhD on the aetiology of periodontal disease in domestic cats with the late Professor Daria Love while maintaining her clinical work as a veterinarian.
After several years back in small animal practice Jacqui returned to the Faculty to work on the development of a new curriculum in veterinary infectious diseases and to continue her research in this area. Since 2002, she has been a full time academic staff member at the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Sydney where she coordinates the teaching of veterinary microbiology and oversees the BVSc curriculum as Sub Dean for Learning and Teaching. She is passionate about teaching clinically relevant infectious disease courses for veterinary undergraduates, veterinary practitioners and companion animal breeders. Her current research projects involve developing our understanding of the causes, treatment and diagnosis of feline viral diseases such as those caused by FIPV, FCV, FHV (especially the dreaded FIP) in both domestic and non-domestic cats (eg lions); determining the aetiology and early detection of chronic kidney disease in domestic and non-domestic cats; antimicrobial resistance surveillance in companion animals and the investigation of the zoonotic bacteria Coxiella burnetii as a potential agent of disease in cats in dog.
Research interests
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis & treatment) Chronic feline kidney disease (aetiology) Novel treatments and diagnostic techniques for veterinary viral diseases Changes in antimicrobial sensitivity patterns of bacterial isolates from companion animals (dogs, cats, horses) Veterinary medical education
