Overview

Alessio Giannelli is affiliated with the University of Bari Aldo Moro in Italy. Their research primarily focuses on parasitology within the broader fields of medicine and immunology and microbiology. The scientist's work covers several subfields including parasitology, public health, environmental and occupational health, infectious diseases, pathology and forensic medicine, and education.

The main topics Alessio Giannelli explores involve zoonotic diseases and public health, vector-borne infectious diseases, parasites and host interactions, viral infections and vectors, research on leishmaniasis studies, parasitic infections and diagnostics, and parasitic diseases research and treatment.

Giannelli's recent publications include:

  • Control of companion animal parasites and impact on One Health, 2024, One Health
  • Quantifying the neglected: Initial estimation of the global burden and economic impact of human toxocariasis, 2024, Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
  • Zoonotic parasites in wild animals such as carnivores and primates that are traded illegally in Brazil, 2021, Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine/Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária
  • Occurrence of zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites of rodents and the risk of human infection in different biomes of Brazil, 2021, Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine/Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária
  • Detection of Rickettsia felis in ectoparasites collected from domestic animals, 2020, Experimental and Applied Acarology

Frequently publishing in venues such as the Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine/Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária and Veterinary Parasitology Regional Studies and Reports, Giannelli has also contributed to One Health, Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, and Experimental and Applied Acarology. The scientist has multiple collaborations with coauthors including Rafael Antonio Nascimento Ramos, Lêucio Câmara Alves, Gílcia Aparecida de Carvalho, Carlos Alberto do Nascimento Ramos, and Johannes Charlier.

The overall focus of Giannelli's scientific output reflects an emphasis on understanding parasitic infections, zoonotic transmission, and the implications of parasites on public health at the animal-human interface. The research contributes to infectious disease knowledge and public health strategies, particularly regarding diseases related to companion animals and wildlife.
