Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Eldaghayes: A Leading Libyan Virologist Shaping Veterinary Medicine and Disease Control
A Distinguished Career in Veterinary Virology
Professor Dr. Ibrahim Mohamed Eldaghayes stands as one of Libya's foremost experts in virology, vaccinology, and immunology. Based at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tripoli, he has dedicated over two decades to advancing veterinary science, disease surveillance, and public health across Libya. His work spans transboundary animal diseases, zoonotic infections, and viral immunopathology — fields critical to both animal and human health.
Academic Background and Professional Journey
Dr. Eldaghayes earned his PhD from the University of Bristol between 2001 and 2005. Since 2006, he has been a faculty member at the Department of Microbiology and Parasitology, University of Tripoli. He became a full professor and served as Head of the Department, leading research programs in microbiology and parasitology.
In 2017, he became Scientific Advisor for the Libyan National Center of Animal Health. He also serves as Vice President of the Scientific Committee at the National Center for Disease Control, helping guide Libya's response to infectious disease threats.
Research Contributions and Publications
Professor Eldaghayes has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in international journals. His research includes groundbreaking work on West Nile Virus circulation in horses and dogs in Libya, highly pathogenic avian influenza, and foot-and-mouth disease virus serotyping. In 2024, he co-authored a pivotal study providing the first evidence of West Nile Virus antibodies in animals in Libya.
In May 2026, his team published sentinel surveillance research on Influenza A in Libya, covering subtyping and genomic analysis. Another 2026 paper examined avian viral oncogenesis, demonstrating his research breadth from molecular virology to field epidemiology.
Leadership in Scientific Publishing
Professor Eldaghayes is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Open Veterinary Journal, a respected open-access journal publishing cutting-edge veterinary research. He also founded Eldaghayes Publisher, a Libyan publishing institution dedicated to scholarly knowledge dissemination through open-access journals, serving the academic community in Libya and beyond.
Recognized internationally, he has received awards including the Veterinary Microbiology Award and recognition as a leading figure in microbiology research worldwide.
Impact on Public Health and Veterinary Services in Libya
Dr. Eldaghayes's work has direct implications for public health in Libya. His research on zoonotic diseases helps inform surveillance systems and control strategies. From avian influenza monitoring in poultry to West Nile Virus surveillance in equines, his findings guide authorities in protecting both animal populations and Libyan communities.
His role as Scientific Committee Vice President at the National Center for Disease Control places him at the forefront of pandemic preparedness. At a time when Libya faces complex health challenges, his virology and immunology expertise provides crucial scientific guidance for policy decisions.
Training the Next Generation of Libyan Scientists
As a professor at the University of Tripoli, Dr. Eldaghayes has trained numerous veterinary students and postgraduate researchers. He has supervised master's and doctoral theses, building Libya's capacity in veterinary microbiology, virology, and epidemiology. His dedication to education ensures Libya continues developing homegrown expertise in these critical fields.
He also trains health professionals in emergency management and disease response through his work with the National Centre for Disease Control, strengthening Libya's health security infrastructure.
A Vision for Science in Libya
Professor Eldaghayes represents Libyan academic excellence — a scientist who earned international credentials, returned to serve his country, and built institutions that will endure. His work demonstrates that Libyan researchers contribute significantly to global scientific knowledge while addressing their nation's specific health challenges.
For Libya, investing in scientists like Professor Eldaghayes and supporting institutions like the University of Tripoli's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is a public health imperative. Strong veterinary science means stronger disease surveillance, better food safety, and more resilient communities.
