Overview

Ana L. García-Pérez is affiliated with NEIKER, the Basque Institute for Agricultural Research and Development in Spain. Their research spans several intersecting fields, primarily Medicine and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Specific subfields of study include Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Infectious Diseases, Parasitology, Plant Science, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics.

Their work covers multiple main topics, such as Viral Infections and Vectors, Mosquito-borne diseases and control, Vector-borne infectious diseases, Vector-Borne Animal Diseases, Malaria Research and Control, Insect and Pesticide Research, and Plant tissue culture and regeneration.

Frequent publication venues feature journals focused on parasitology, veterinary sciences, and vector biology, including:

  • Parasites & Vectors
  • Animals
  • Medical and Veterinary Entomology
  • Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases
  • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

They have collaborated often with several researchers, with frequent co-authors including Jesús F. Barandika, Aitor Cevidanes, Mikel A. González, Fátima Goiri, and Ana Hurtado.

Selected recent publications illustrate the scope of their research contributions:

  • "A highly efficient organogenesis protocol based on zeatin riboside for in vitro regeneration of eggplant" (2020), BMC Plant Biology
  • "Molecular identification of tick-borne pathogens (Rickettsia spp., Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Coxiella burnetii and piroplasms) in questing and feeding hard ticks from North-Western Spain" (2022), Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases
  • "Vectors of disease at the northern distribution limit of the genus Dermacentor in Eurasia: D. reticulatus and D. silvarum" (2020), Experimental and Applied Acarology
  • "Avian Feeding Preferences of Culex pipiens and Culiseta spp. Along an Urban-to-Wild Gradient in Northern Spain" (2020), Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
  • "One Health Approach: An Overview of Q Fever in Livestock, Wildlife and Humans in Asturias (Northwestern Spain)" (2021), Animals

The research profile indicates a focus on epidemiological studies of vector-borne pathogens, ecological dynamics of disease vectors, and plant biotechnology. Their disciplinary reach integrates medical entomology with agricultural sciences, contributing to areas such as vector-borne disease control and plant tissue culture techniques.
