Nancy Schuurman is a Researcher and Teacher in the Infectious Diseases & Immunology department at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University. Her work focuses on veterinary virology with particular emphasis on coronavirus and influenza research in companion animals.
Dr. Schuurman's research interests include:
- Virology of companion animals, particularly cats and dogs
- Coronavirus infections including SARS-CoV-2 in animals
- Influenza virus transmission between animals and humans
- Serological screening methods for viral infections
- Feline immunodeficiency virus pathogenesis
- Development of diagnostic methods for animal viruses
Her publication record shows consistent research output spanning nearly three decades, with recent work focusing on zoonotic transmission of coronaviruses and influenza between humans and companion animals. Her studies often involve serological screening of cats and dogs for various viral pathogens, with significant contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic regarding animal infections. The research demonstrates her expertise in both molecular virology techniques and epidemiological approaches to studying viral diseases in animal populations.
Dr. Schuurman collaborates extensively with researchers at Utrecht University, particularly with H.F. Egberink, F.J.M. van Kuppeveld, and B.-J. Bosch across multiple publications. Her work frequently appears in high-impact journals such as Viruses, Emerging Infectious Diseases, and Eurosurveillance, demonstrating the relevance of her research to both veterinary and public health fields.
