Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Marieke N Hoogerwerf"
- Marieke N Hoogerwerf's recent research primarily focuses on the detection and characterization of various flavivirus and orthohantavirus infections, especially tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and its implications for public health in Europe.
- One key finding from her work involves the enhancement of serological assays for TBEV by incorporating envelope protein domain III, which significantly increases the sensitivity for detecting TBEV IgG antibodies, addressing challenges posed by previous vaccinations and related infections.
- Additionally, her studies explore the use of wild ungulates as effective sentinels for monitoring TBEV circulation in naïve regions, highlighting their role in disease surveillance in areas where TBEV is not yet confirmed, and demonstrating the importance of monitoring animal health in relation to public health concerns.
