About
Giuseppe Marruchella is a veterinary pathologist whose research bridges infectious disease pathology, food safety, and artificial intelligence in livestock health. His work centers on porcine respiratory diseases, particularly pleuropneumonia caused by *Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae*, and the development of automated diagnostic tools for abattoir surveillance. In his highly cited field trial on automated detection and scoring of pleurisy in Norwegian slaughtered pigs (2025, 3 citations), Marruchella demonstrated that AI-based systems can reliably assess lung lesions at postmortem inspection, offering a scalable solution for monitoring herd health and reducing economic losses. This work exemplifies his broader contribution: transforming routine slaughterhouse data into actionable epidemiological insights. Marruchella’s research has direct implications for animal welfare, antimicrobial stewardship, and precision livestock farming. His innovative use of computer vision in veterinary pathology positions him at the forefront of digital diagnostics, making his work essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of infectious disease, pathology, and technology in modern agriculture.
