<p>Minor point of clarification, a zoonotic disease is one that is transmitted directly from animals to humans. HIV hasn’t been a zoonotic infection for probably 50+ years.</p>
<p>To your point, I don’t know much about DVM/PhDs other than that my department has a couple of them. It’s a very interesting option for basic science research given the abundance of animal models.</p>
<p>It looks like studentdoctornetwork got rid of the DVM/PhD section. You’d have to post in either the Physician Scientist or Vet sections.</p>
<p>I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the EIS is mostly a monitoring/surveillance group. If you want to be doing real research into how these infections work, you’d probably be still looking to go into academia.</p>
