Ann Ceulemans

Ann Ceulemans is a researcher specializing in Virus Ecology at the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp (ITM) in Belgium. Her work focuses on emerging viral pathogens, host immune responses, and epidemiological studies of infectious diseases with significant public health implications.

Her research interests span virology, immunology, and tropical medicine, with particular expertise in SARS-CoV-2, Monkeypox virus, arthropod-borne viruses, and visceral leishmaniasis. The fingerprint analysis of her work reveals strong contributions to understanding Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome, SARS Virus, Coronavirus nucleocapsid protein, Neutralization Tests, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, and Health Personnel infections.

Analysis of her publication trends shows consistent research output from 2013-2025, with increased activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her most recent work examines Monkeypox virus clade IIb, arthropod-borne viruses in African rodents, and genetic factors in visceral leishmaniasis development among HIV-positive individuals in Ethiopia. Her publications frequently appear in high-impact journals such as PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases and Journal of Medical Virology.

Dr. Ceulemans has established significant international research collaborations, particularly with colleagues in Belgium, Africa, and other regions affected by tropical and emerging infectious diseases. Her work often involves multidisciplinary teams studying viral pathogenesis, immune responses, and epidemiological patterns of emerging pathogens.
