Wageningen University & Research
The chair group Infectious Disease Epidemiology (IDE) IDE consists of 7 scientific staff members, 22 PhD candidates and a secretariat. Each year around 10 students complete a master thesis within the group. IDE has strong ties with Wageningen Bioveterinary Research (WBVR) and the ‘Gezondheidsdienst voor Dieren’ (Royal GD), through shared research projects and staff members (special professors). IDE relies on these institutes for data collection.
The chair group IDE is part of the graduate school Wageningen Institute of Animal Sciences (WIAS). The chair group IDE is one of the 11 chair groups of the department of Animal Sciences (ASG). Collaborations within and outside the department are based on complimentary expertise either on specific traits or disciplines. Examples of collaborations in the last two years are publications with Animal Breeding and Genomics, Marine Animal Ecology, Aquaculture and Fisheries, Business Economics, the Laboratory of Entomology, the Laboratory of Virology, the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation group.
