Adriaan Antonis

Adriaan Antonis is a Researcher in the Department of Virology & Molecular Biology at Wageningen University & Research. His work bridges animal health, food safety, and sustainable agricultural practices. He actively contributes to research on zoonotic diseases, farming systems, and circular food production.

His research interests focus on animal health, microbiota dynamics, food safety, and sustainable agriculture. He investigates how farming practices influence disease transmission, animal behavior, and environmental impact. His work on insect rearing and alternative feed sources supports the development of circular food systems.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in agricultural sustainability, microbial risk analysis, and One Health approaches. Topics include BSE transmission risks, insect-based feed safety, and plant-based forage impacts on animal health and biodiversity.

Adriaan Antonis leads multiple active research projects, including Wijs met Wormen and water efficiency classification systems. These grants focus on reducing anthelmintic use in ruminants and improving water use in food systems. He collaborates with interdisciplinary teams across Wageningen Food Safety Research and other departments.

He is involved in key research networks focusing on food safety, animal health, and sustainable farming. His work integrates laboratory research with field observations and policy development, particularly in the context of circular agriculture and risk mitigation in novel food chains.
