Research

    Intrests
  • Ecological Epidemiolgy - environment + host organisms + pathogens (today: One Health)
  • Control concepts & measures in host-disease systems
  • emergency control in livestock populations
  • "vaccinate to live" ("impfen statt keulen")
  • Modelling transmission - the finite and the infinite world
  • Quantitative approaches to animal welfare
  • Management-oriented disease modelling
  • Quantitative risk assessment of pathogens
  • Good modelling practise for policy support
    Modelling systems
  • Wild boar populations & epidemics (ASF & CSF & FMD)
  • Cattle rearing & production disease control (BVD & IBR)
  • Ecological niches of vectors of pathogens of plants, animals & humans
  • Pig production & sustainable emergency strategies (CSF & ASF)
  • Small foxtapeworm echinococcus  & small-scale spatial ecology
  • Rabies in foxes & the effect of oral vaccination
