Marja de Jong is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine of Companion Animals at Utrecht University's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. She is certified as an EBVS European Veterinary Specialist in Small Animal Internal Medicine, reflecting her clinical expertise in this field. Her academic appointment places her within one of Europe's leading veterinary institutions with strong clinical and research programs.
Dr. de Jong's research interests focus on internal medicine of companion animals, with particular expertise in infectious diseases affecting dogs and cats. Her work spans clinical investigations of canine leishmaniosis in non-endemic regions, zoonotic disease transmission (particularly SARS-CoV-2 between humans and pets), and endocrine disorders in small mammals, especially adrenal diseases in ferrets. This diverse research portfolio demonstrates her ability to address both emerging infectious disease threats and specialized small animal medicine challenges.
Her publication record shows a clear evolution from molecular studies of adrenal pathologies in ferrets (2013-2014) to contemporary research on canine vector-borne diseases and pandemic-related zoonotic concerns. This progression highlights her adaptability to emerging veterinary challenges while maintaining expertise in small animal internal medicine. Her recent work on leishmaniosis treatment protocols and owner experiences reflects a patient-centered approach to veterinary medicine.
