Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Borrelia burgdorferi, Virology, Lyme disease, Microbiology and Borrelia. His Borrelia burgdorferi research incorporates elements of Plasmid and Molecular biology. Alan G. Barbour interconnects Bacterial vaccine, Locus, Borrelia miyamotoi and Antigenic variation in the investigation of issues within Virology.

His work carried out in the field of Lyme disease brings together such families of science as Lyme Arthritis, Tick, Ixodes ricinus and Erythema chronicum migrans. He combines subjects such as Vector, Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia hermsii and Signal peptidase II with his study of Microbiology. His Borrelia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cell, Disease reservoir, Lipopolysaccharide, Lipid A and Nucleic acid thermodynamics.

His most cited work include:

  • Lyme disease-a tick-borne spirochetosis? (2182 citations)
  • Isolation and cultivation of Lyme disease spirochetes. (1220 citations)
  • The Spirochetal Etiology of Lyme Disease (1198 citations)

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

Borrelia burgdorferi, Virology, Microbiology, Borrelia and Lyme disease are his primary areas of study. His research in Borrelia burgdorferi intersects with topics in Molecular biology, Plasmid and Antigen. As a member of one scientific family, Alan G. Barbour mostly works in the field of Microbiology, focusing on Spirochaete and, on occasion, Lysis.

Alan G. Barbour has included themes like DNA and Recombinant DNA in his Borrelia study. His Lyme disease research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecology, LYME and Lyme disease microbiology. His studies deal with areas such as Gene and Antigenic variation as well as Borrelia hermsii.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Borrelia burgdorferi (43.94%)
  • Virology (41.21%)
  • Microbiology (38.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Virology (41.21%)
  • Lyme disease (31.82%)
  • Borrelia burgdorferi (43.94%)

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

Alan G. Barbour mostly deals with Virology, Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, Borrelia and relapsing fever. His Virology research includes themes of Borrelia hermsii, Borrelia miyamotoi and Microbiology. His Lyme disease course of study focuses on Peromyscus and Immunology, Disease reservoir, Natural population growth and Microbiome.

Alan G. Barbour is studying LYME, which is a component of Borrelia burgdorferi. His studies in Borrelia integrate themes in fields like Babesiosis, Plasmid and Disease. The study incorporates disciplines such as Tick-borne disease, Phylogenetics and Whole genome sequencing in addition to relapsing fever.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Human Borrelia miyamotoi infection in the United States. (177 citations)
  • Borrelia miyamotoi infection in nature and in humans (122 citations)
  • Borrelia miyamotoi sensu lato seroreactivity and seroprevalence in the northeastern United States. (80 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Alan G. Barbour mainly focuses on Virology, Borrelia miyamotoi, relapsing fever, Borrelia and Lyme disease. His Borrelia miyamotoi study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Borrelia burgdorferi. His Borrelia burgdorferi research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Epitope, Epitope mapping and Antigenic variation.

His Borrelia research includes elements of Phylogenetics and Microbiology. His work on Pathogen as part of his general Microbiology study is frequently connected to Extramural, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. As part of the same scientific family, Alan G. Barbour usually focuses on Lyme disease, concentrating on Peromyscus and intersecting with Disease reservoir.
