Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

Alessandra Torina mostly deals with Virology, Tick, Veterinary medicine, Babesia and Theileria. Alessandra Torina is interested in Anaplasma, which is a branch of Virology. Her Anaplasma study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transmission and Anaplasmosis.

Her study in the field of Ixodes ricinus is also linked to topics like Bacterial genetics. A large part of her Veterinary medicine studies is devoted to Anaplasma ovis. Her research integrates issues of Coxiella burnetii and Prevalence in her study of Babesia.

Her most cited work include:

  • Sequence Analysis of the msp4 Gene of Anaplasma phagocytophilum Strains (171 citations)
  • Identification of a novel bluetongue virus vector species of Culicoides in Sicily. (161 citations)
  • Tick-Pathogen Interactions and Vector Competence: Identification of Molecular Drivers for Tick-Borne Diseases (156 citations)

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

Alessandra Torina focuses on Virology, Veterinary medicine, Tick, Anaplasma and Babesia. Her Virology research includes elements of Pathogen, Serology and Polymerase chain reaction. She has included themes like Coxiella burnetii and Seroprevalence in her Veterinary medicine study.

Her studies deal with areas such as Zoology and Rickettsia as well as Tick. Her work deals with themes such as Anaplasmosis, Host and Ovis, which intersect with Anaplasma. As part of one scientific family, Alessandra Torina deals mainly with the area of Babesia, narrowing it down to issues related to the Theileria, and often Prevalence.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (40.91%)
  • Veterinary medicine (34.55%)
  • Tick (32.73%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Tick (32.73%)
  • Vector (10.91%)
  • Virology (40.91%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Tick, Vector, Virology, Veterinary medicine and Zoology. Her work in Tick tackles topics such as Spotted fever which are related to areas like Hyalomma marginatum and Livestock. Her studies in Vector integrate themes in fields like Chikungunya, Ecology, Genetics and Transmission.

Her Virology research is mostly focused on the topic Rickettsia. In her research, Theileria, Hyalomma dromedarii, Coinfection, Babesia and Typing is intimately related to Coxiella burnetii, which falls under the overarching field of Veterinary medicine. Her work in the fields of Culicoides imicola overlaps with other areas such as Sicilian and Statistical analysis.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Tick-Pathogen Interactions and Vector Competence: Identification of Molecular Drivers for Tick-Borne Diseases (156 citations)
  • Insecticide Resistance Associated with kdr Mutations in Aedes albopictus: An Update on Worldwide Evidences. (17 citations)
  • A retrospective study of the characterization of Rickettsia species in ticks collected from humans. (16 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

Her primary areas of investigation include Tick, Rickettsia, Spotted fever, Transmission and Anaplasma. Her Tick study contributes to a more complete understanding of Virology. Her study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Microbiome and Identification.

Her work on Rickettsia conorii as part of general Rickettsia research is frequently linked to World health, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her work in Transmission addresses issues such as Vector, which are connected to fields such as Yellow fever. Her Anaplasma study deals with Pathogen intersecting with Wild caught and Zoology.
