Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Virology, Spotted fever, Rickettsia felis, Typhus and Rickettsia typhi are his primary areas of study. His Virology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ctenocephalides, Malaria, Immunology, Plasmodium berghei and Microbiology. His Microbiology research integrates issues from Bartonella henselae, Bartonella koehlerae, Pulicidae and Cat-scratch disease.

His Spotted fever course of study focuses on Transovarial transmission and Rickettsiaceae. Abdu F. Azad interconnects Cat flea, Genome evolution, Plasmid and Rickettsiales in the investigation of issues within Rickettsia felis. The subject of his Rickettsia typhi research is within the realm of Murine typhus.

His most cited work include:

  • Rickettsial Pathogens and their Arthropod Vectors (313 citations)
  • Flea-borne rickettsioses: ecologic considerations. (249 citations)
  • Identification of a novel rickettsial infection in a patient diagnosed with murine typhus. (206 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Virology, Microbiology, Rickettsia typhi, Molecular biology and Gene. His Virology study combines topics in areas such as Spotted fever, Rickettsia felis and Rickettsiaceae. His Spotted fever research includes themes of Rickettsiosis and Rickettsiales.

His Microbiology study also includes

  • Dermacentor variabilis together with Transovarial transmission,
  • Secretion and related Effector. His Rickettsia typhi research incorporates elements of Vero cell, Xenopsylla, Antigen and Peptide sequence, Signal peptide. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Complementary DNA, Messenger RNA, Sequence analysis, Polymerase chain reaction and Plasmodium berghei.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (43.15%)
  • Microbiology (34.25%)
  • Rickettsia typhi (23.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Genetics (15.07%)
  • Microbiology (34.25%)
  • Cat flea (9.59%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Abdu F. Azad mainly focuses on Genetics, Microbiology, Cat flea, Ctenocephalides and Genome. As a part of the same scientific family, Abdu F. Azad mostly works in the field of Genetics, focusing on Obligate and, on occasion, Rickettsia felis and Secretory protein. The study incorporates disciplines such as Zoology, Amblyomma maculatum, Virology and Transovarial transmission, Transstadial transmission in addition to Rickettsia felis.

Abdu F. Azad interconnects Secretion, Intracellular parasite, Lipopolysaccharide and Rickettsia typhi in the investigation of issues within Microbiology. He is investigating Murine typhus and Typhus as part of his examination of Rickettsia typhi. The Rickettsiales study combines topics in areas such as Innate immune system and Spotted fever.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Secretome of obligate intracellular Rickettsia (58 citations)
  • Wholly Rickettsia! Reconstructed Metabolic Profile of the Quintessential Bacterial Parasite of Eukaryotic Cells. (48 citations)
  • Genomic Diversification in Strains of Rickettsia felis Isolated from Different Arthropods (41 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Obligate, Intracellular parasite, Microbiology and Rickettsia felis. In the subject of general Genetics, his work in Mobilome, Gene, Peptide sequence and Protein domain is often linked to Liposcelis bostrychophila, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His studies in Intracellular parasite integrate themes in fields like Axenic, Rickettsiaceae and Metabolic network.

His Rickettsiaceae research incorporates themes from Protein moonlighting, Secretory protein, Metabolic pathway and Cell biology. His Microbiology study often links to related topics such as Secretion. His Rickettsia felis research focuses on subjects like Ctenocephalides, which are linked to Genome.
