Anette Ella Boklund

Dr. Anette Ella Boklund is an Associate Professor at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. With over 20 years of specialized experience, she focuses on epidemiological modeling of contagious diseases in livestock systems. Her expertise spans disease simulation, risk analysis, and outbreak management, particularly for swine and avian pathogens. She maintains active collaborations with industry partners including Danish swine producers and Kopenhagen Fur, adhering to institutional conflict-of-interest protocols.

Research Focus: Dr. Boklund's work centers on three primary domains:

• Development of computational models for disease spread in animal populations
• Risk assessment frameworks for emerging zoonotic threats
• Evidence-based biosecurity protocols for livestock industries

She maintains particular expertise in African Swine Fever, avian influenza, and foot-and-mouth disease dynamics.

Publication Trends: Her recent research (2025) demonstrates strong emphasis on:

• Transmission modeling across species interfaces (wildlife-livestock)
• Validation of spatial disease spread algorithms
• Comparative analysis of international disease mitigation policies
• Vector competence studies for viral diseases

Professional Engagement: Dr. Boklund serves on multiple national and international committees including:

• Danish Expert Group for Foot-and-Mouth Disease (current)
• EFSA ASF Working Group (2018-2019)
• ICAHS 2020 Scientific Committee

She regularly presents at veterinary epidemiology conferences and contributes to One Health initiatives.
