  • Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 (17.62%)
  • Outbreak (25.99%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Veterinary medicine, Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, Outbreak, Virus and Poultry farming. When carried out as part of a general Veterinary medicine research project, his work on Flock and Herd is frequently linked to work in Midge and Alistipes, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His research in Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 focuses on subjects like Influenza A virus, which are connected to Waterfowl.

His Outbreak study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Incidence, Poisson regression, Seasonality, Disease and Operations research. His study in Virus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Transmission and Basic reproduction number. His research integrates issues of Avian influenza virus, Seroprevalence and Fauna in his study of Poultry farming.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phylogenetic analysis of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) virus outbreak strains provides evidence for four separate introductions and one between-poultry farm transmission in the Netherlands, November 2014. (51 citations)
  • Mosquitoes and Culicoides biting midges: vector range and the influence of climate change. (48 citations)
  • Novel Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N6) Virus in the Netherlands, December 2017 (44 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Virus
  • Ecology
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, Virus, Virology, Veterinary medicine and Influenza A virus. His work in the fields of Virus, such as Highly pathogenic, intersects with other areas such as Whole genome sequencing. His work in the fields of Cattle Diseases overlaps with other areas such as Bunyaviridae Infections, Simbu virus and Tanzania.

In general Veterinary medicine study, his work on Culicoides often relates to the realm of Midge, thereby connecting several areas of interest. The various areas that he examines in his Influenza A virus study include Transmission, Poultry farming and Outbreak. His Transmission study combines topics in areas such as Livestock and Anas.
