Walter Obritzhauser - Epidemiology

Author Information

Walter Obritzhauser is affiliated with the Unit of Veterinary Public Health & Epidemiology, Institute of Food Safety, Food Technology and Veterinary Public Health, University of Veterinary Medicine, located in Vienna, Austria. He has made significant contributions to the field of veterinary epidemiology with a particular focus on dairy cattle health, antimicrobial use, and resistance.

Research Contributions

Walter Obritzhauser's research primarily revolves around the health and welfare of dairy cattle, with a strong emphasis on antimicrobial use and resistance. His work includes studies on the analysis of antimicrobial use and the presence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria on dairy farms, the usability of bacteriological milk analyses for genetic improvement of udder health, and the relationship between farm management practices and bovine mastitis. His recent papers also explore benchmarking methods to monitor cattle health, the integration of bacteriological milk examination into antimicrobial usage decisions, and the mapping of global prevalence of bovine viral diarrhoea virus infection.
