About
Dr. Carrie Batten is a leading virologist whose work has significantly advanced the detection and control of emerging livestock diseases, particularly those affecting small ruminants. Her primary research focuses on the development and validation of molecular diagnostic tools for transboundary animal diseases, with a special emphasis on Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV). Her most influential contribution, the 2010 paper "A real time RT-PCR assay for the specific detection of Peste des petits ruminants virus," has garnered over 110 citations, establishing a gold-standard diagnostic method that is now widely used in surveillance and outbreak response globally. This assay's high sensitivity and specificity have been instrumental in supporting eradication efforts and improving biosecurity in vulnerable regions. Beyond this landmark work, Dr. Batten has contributed to the characterization of viral pathogenesis and the development of novel vaccines, strengthening global health security. Her dedication to practical, field-ready solutions has made her a respected figure in veterinary virology, and her research continues to inform policy and protect livelihoods in communities dependent on livestock.
