The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Professor Susan Christina Welburn on being appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to One Health research and to disease elimination through her work as a professor of medical and veterinary molecular epidemiology; understands that the One Health approach works across disciplines to recognises the closely linked and interdependent nature of health between humans, animals, plants and the environment; notes that Professor Welburn’s recent research, which has ranged from field work in Africa to gene-level laboratory work, has concentrated on the design and use of molecular diagnostic tools for the study and management of sleeping sickness and animal trypanosomiasis, and integrated control methodologies for control of the neglected zoonoses; commends Professor Welburn on her significant contributions to health research and control of neglected zoonotic diseases, and wishes her all the best in her future projects.
