Personal profile
Dr. Theethawat Uea-Anuwong is a veterinarian and dedicated researcher specializing in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and zoonotic infectious diseases. Driven by the One Health approach, his work focuses on combatting global health threats at the intersection of animal, human, and environmental health.
Dr. Uea-Anuwong earned his PhD with a doctoral thesis that investigated AMR and infectious diseases in peri-domestic rats (Rattus spp.) across diverse ecological areas in Hong Kong, China. This extensive research provided critical insights into how urban wildlife acts as reservoirs for pathogens and resistance genes in high-density environments, filling a vital gap in urban zoonoses surveillance.
Currently, his research interests focus on the prevention and mitigation of AMR and zoonotic diseases, with a particular emphasis on low-resource settings and low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs). He aims to leverage his expertise to help develop scalable surveillance strategies, improve local healthcare capacities, and create impactful interventions where they are most urgently needed.
