Experience & Activities

Elizabeth Amuta is an accomplished academic specializing in parasitology and epidemiological research. She holds a PhD in Parasitology, with expertise in zoonotic diseases, parasitic infections in tropical ecosystems, and public health interventions. As a faculty member at the University of Agriculture, Makurdi – a Nigerian institution focused on agri-science innovation – her work bridges animal health, agricultural productivity, and human disease dynamics. Her research emphasizes parasitic disease transmission in Nigeria’s Benue State (a major agricultural region), including studies on Schistosoma haematobium (urinary schistosomiasis), soil-transmitted helminths, and malaria co-infections.

Her professorship confirms advanced qualifications. She has contributed to epidemiological surveys and community health initiatives, often collaborating with Nigeria’s Ministry of Health. Her leadership includes mentoring postgraduate students in disease modeling and parasitological diagnostics. Limited publication details are accessible online, suggesting her work prioritizes local impact over international visibility.
