Overview

Mart C.M. de Jong is affiliated with Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands, contributing to research primarily within the fields of Medicine and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their work spans several subfields including Infectious Diseases, Agronomy and Crop Science, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine, and Modeling and Simulation.

De Jong's research covers key topics related to animal and viral disease management and epidemiology, as well as viral infections and immunology research. Their focus extends to the epidemiology and management of animal diseases, particularly those transmitted by vectors, and the study of viral outbreaks and infections with attention to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2.

  • Animal Disease Management and Epidemiology
  • Vector-Borne Animal Diseases
  • Viral Infections and Immunology Research
  • COVID-19 epidemiological studies
  • SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 Research
  • Viral Infections and Outbreaks Research
  • Otolaryngology and Infectious Diseases

Recent scientific publications by de Jong demonstrate an emphasis on infectious diseases affecting animal populations and the epidemiology of viral infections. Notable papers include:

  • "Epidemiology of foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks in Thailand from 2011 to 2018," published in 2022 in Transboundary and Emerging Diseases
  • "The basic reproduction number of SARS-CoV-2: a scoping review of available evidence," published in 2020 in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • "346 Investigating the potential of incorporating indirect genetic effects into genetic evaluations of dairy calf disease traits," published in 2024 in Journal of Animal Science

These publications address diverse aspects such as the epidemiological analysis of foot-and-mouth disease, comprehensive reviews of SARS-CoV-2 transmissibility, and genetic evaluation methodologies for dairy calf diseases.

Collaboration is a notable component of de Jong's research activities, with frequent coauthors including Thanicha Chanchaidechachai, H.W. Saatkamp, Chaidate Inchaisri, H. Hogeveen, and Sith Premashthira. These collaborations likely cross several interconnected research themes in animal health, infectious disease dynamics, and epidemiology.
