Dr. Zdenek Hubalek is a respected scientist and author affiliated with the Institute of Vertebrate Biology at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Brno, Czech Republic. With a distinguished career in biological and environmental sciences, Dr. Hubalek has contributed extensively to the study of zoonotic diseases, disease ecology, and vector-borne infections affecting both wildlife and human populations.

His research at the Czech Academy of Sciences focuses on the ecology, epidemiology, and transmission patterns of emerging infectious diseases, particularly those spread by arthropods such as ticks and mosquitoes. Dr. Hubalek’s work has been instrumental in identifying and understanding the risks posed by pathogens in changing ecosystems and climates, emphasizing the importance of One Health approaches that link human, animal, and environmental health.

As an author at IgMin Research, Dr. Hubalek shares his scientific expertise through publications that delve into topics such as virus-host interactions, wildlife disease surveillance, and the impact of environmental change on pathogen dynamics. His interdisciplinary approach combines field biology, microbiology, and public health to address complex global health challenges.

Based in the Czech Republic, Dr. Hubalek collaborates with international research teams and public health institutions, contributing to the global understanding of infectious disease threats. His work has had a lasting impact on disease prevention strategies, ecological research, and scientific policy. With a career rooted in scientific integrity and innovation, Dr. Zdenek Hubalek continues to be a leading voice in the fields of vertebrate biology and disease ecology.

Dr. Zdenek Hubalek’s research interests focus on disease ecology, zoonotic infections, and the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases. He has dedicated much of his scientific career to studying how pathogens are transmitted between wildlife, domestic animals, and humans, particularly in relation to environmental changes and biodiversity.

A central theme of his work involves the ecology of arthropod vectors—such as ticks and mosquitoes—and their role in spreading viruses and bacteria, including West Nile virus, tick-borne encephalitis, and Lyme disease. Dr. Hubalek also investigates how climate change, habitat disruption, and urbanization influence the emergence and spread of infectious diseases.

At the Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Czech Academy of Sciences, he integrates fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and ecological modeling to monitor disease dynamics in wild vertebrate populations. His interdisciplinary approach contributes to the development of early warning systems and public health strategies grounded in the One Health framework, which connects environmental, animal, and human health.
