OverviewAI-generated summary

Palmy Jesudhasan's research focuses on developing vaccines and other interventions to control foodborne pathogens, specifically targeting those found in poultry. This work aims to enhance poultry health while concurrently reducing the incidence of human foodborne illnesses. Jesudhasan investigates methods to control the colonization of pathogens such as *Salmonella Typhimurium*, *Campylobacter jejuni*, and *Clostridium perfringens* in broiler chickens.

Methods explored include the use of electron-beam-killed vaccines and the incorporation of specific phytochemicals, such as trans-cinnamaldehyde, caprylic acid, garlic, and ginger oil, into animal feed. These dietary supplements have demonstrated the ability to reduce pathogen carriage in the chicken gut. Jesudhasan also examines the host's immune response to these pathogens and interventions, utilizing multiomic analyses of host factors. This research contributes to the broader field of food safety and public health by addressing pathogen control at the source.

Jesudhasan has authored or co-authored 80 publications, with a total of 2,363 citations, and holds an h-index of 22. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include Anna L. F. V. Assumpcao, Ruvindu Perera, Adnan Alrubaye, and Khawla Alharbi.
