Maarten Johannes Nauta

Maarten Johannes Nauta serves as a Visiting Teacher in the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, focusing on Animal Welfare and Disease Control. Affiliated with Statens Serum Institut (SSI), his work bridges veterinary science and public health through risk assessment of zoonotic diseases and food safety challenges.

His research spans One Health risk assessment, zoonotic disease incursion modeling, parasite control in fishery products, and Salmonella dynamics in poultry. He develops tools like L'ORA for dynamic risk evaluation and contributes to EFSA guidelines, emphasizing evidence-based approaches to animal-human health interfaces. Key methodologies include epidemiological modeling and quantitative microbial risk assessment.

Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal strong trends in One Health tool development, EFSA guideline re-evaluation for seafood parasites, and border control efficacy for poultry imports. These works advance regulatory science in veterinary epidemiology, with applications in public health preparedness and food safety policy across European and international contexts.

Dr. Nauta actively collaborates with the EFSA Panel on Biological Hazards and global research networks, as evidenced by multinational co-authorship on high-impact publications. His work is conducted within the Animal Welfare and Disease Control group at the University of Copenhagen, leveraging institutional partnerships for translational impact in disease control.
