Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Virus

Alberto Fereres focuses on Aphid, Plant virus, Botany, Electrical penetration graph and Virology. Alberto Fereres combines subjects such as Ecology and Aphididae with his study of Aphid. His work on Cucumber mosaic virus as part of his general Plant virus study is frequently connected to Vector, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Botany is often connected to Horticulture in his work. Alberto Fereres has researched Electrical penetration graph in several fields, including Molecular mechanism and Virus transmission. His work on Virus and Viral protein as part of general Virology research is often related to Cauliflower mosaic virus, thus linking different fields of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Intracellular ingestion and salivation by aphids may cause the acquisition and inoculation of non-persistently transmitted plant viruses. (286 citations)
  • Behavioural aspects influencing plant virus transmission by homopteran insects. (279 citations)
  • Excel Workbook for automatic parameter calculation of EPG data (150 citations)

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

Alberto Fereres mainly focuses on Aphid, Botany, Horticulture, Plant virus and Aphididae. His Aphid research integrates issues from Aphis gossypii, Electrical penetration graph and Nasonovia ribisnigri. His Electrical penetration graph research includes themes of Insect, Phloem and Stylet.

His work in the fields of Botany, such as Hemiptera and Nymph, intersects with other areas such as Xylella fastidiosa. His work carried out in the field of Plant virus brings together such families of science as Ecology and Whitefly. His Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi study in the realm of Aphididae interacts with subjects such as Antibiosis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Aphid (42.99%)
  • Botany (30.77%)
  • Horticulture (25.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Aphid (42.99%)
  • Horticulture (25.34%)
  • Xylella fastidiosa (9.05%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Aphid, Horticulture, Xylella fastidiosa, Phloem and Electrical penetration graph. His study of Myzus persicae is a part of Aphid. His Myzus persicae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Virus, Virology and Closterovirus.

His Horticulture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hemiptera and Solanaceae. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Inoculation, Crop and Bactericera. His Electrical penetration graph study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Insect, Stylet and Shoot.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Philaenus spumarius : when an old acquaintance becomes a new threat to European agriculture (43 citations)
  • Distribution and Relative Abundance of Insect Vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in Olive Groves of the Iberian Peninsula (29 citations)
  • Identification of Plant Virus Receptor Candidates in the Stylets of Their Aphid Vectors. (28 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Virus

Alberto Fereres spends much of his time researching Phloem, Electrical penetration graph, Aphid, Xylella fastidiosa and Virology. The various areas that Alberto Fereres examines in his Phloem study include Stylet and Whitefly, Horticulture. His Stylet research incorporates themes from Ultrastructure, Aphis gossypii and Melon.

He is involved in the study of Aphid that focuses on Myzus persicae in particular. His research links Rhopalosiphum padi with Virology. His Virus study combines topics in areas such as Acyrthosiphon pisum and Arthropod mouthparts.
