Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Disease

Nils Toft spends much of his time researching Veterinary medicine, Herd, Paratuberculosis, Latent class model and Immunology. Veterinary medicine and Danish are two areas of study in which Nils Toft engages in interdisciplinary work. His Herd research is classified as research in Animal science.

His Paratuberculosis research includes themes of Dairy cattle, Feces, Target population and Population study. His Latent class model study incorporates themes from Gold standard, Test and Serology. His work focuses on many connections between Immunology and other disciplines, such as Internal medicine, that overlap with his field of interest in Immunoassay and Multiplex.

His most cited work include:

  • Ante mortem diagnosis of paratuberculosis: A review of accuracies of ELISA, interferon-γ assay and faecal culture techniques (296 citations)
  • A review of prevalences of paratuberculosis in farmed animals in Europe. (228 citations)
  • Assessing the convergence of Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods: an example from evaluation of diagnostic tests in absence of a gold standard. (98 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Veterinary medicine, Herd, Danish, Paratuberculosis and Animal science. His research in Veterinary medicine focuses on subjects like Latent class model, which are connected to Gold standard. Nils Toft usually deals with Herd and limits it to topics linked to Mastitis and Staphylococcus aureus.

His research integrates issues of Feces, Immunology and Cattle Diseases in his study of Paratuberculosis. Nils Toft works on Immunology which deals in particular with Antibody. Nils Toft studies Breed, a branch of Animal science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Veterinary medicine (42.02%)
  • Herd (31.52%)
  • Danish (19.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Veterinary medicine (42.02%)
  • Herd (31.52%)
  • Danish (19.07%)

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

Nils Toft mainly focuses on Veterinary medicine, Herd, Danish, Dairy cattle and Animal science. His Veterinary medicine research is mostly focused on the topic Pig farms. His Herd study combines topics in areas such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Environmental health, Mastitis, Microbiological culture and Somatic cell count.

His Somatic cell count study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Culling and Dairy herds. His study connects Udder and Dairy cattle. His Epidemiology research incorporates themes from Infectious disease and African swine fever.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • STARD-BLCM: Standards for the Reporting of Diagnostic accuracy studies that use Bayesian Latent Class Models (69 citations)
  • Simulating the epidemiological and economic effects of an African swine fever epidemic in industrialized swine populations. (38 citations)
  • Acute-phase proteins as diagnostic markers in horses with colic. (19 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Disease

His primary areas of investigation include Veterinary medicine, Herd, Danish, Animal science and Mastitis. His Veterinary medicine research incorporates elements of Antimicrobial, African swine fever, Outbreak, Microbiological culture and Antimicrobial resistance genes. He has researched African swine fever in several fields, including Infectious disease and Epidemiology.

His studies in Herd integrate themes in fields like Dairy cattle, Livestock, Environmental health and Somatic cell count. Nils Toft combines subjects such as Serum samples, Paratuberculosis, Goat Diseases and Flock with his study of Animal science. Mastitis is closely attributed to Latent class model in his research.
