Overview

Andreas Hofmann is a researcher affiliated with the University of Melbourne in Australia. Their work spans across the fields of biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a strong focus on molecular biology, parasitology, and plant science as prominent subfields.

The scientist has contributed substantially to several main topics in the biological sciences, including helminth infection and control, parasites and host interactions, parasite biology and host interactions, and parasitic infections and diagnostics. Additional areas of research interest include insect pest control strategies, genetics, aging, and longevity in model organisms, as well as dermatological diseases and infestations.

Recent publications by Andreas Hofmann cover diverse subjects within parasitology and related disciplines. These include:

  • Global prevalence of Toxocara infection in dogs, 2020, Advances in Parasitology/Advances in parasitology
  • Global prevalence of Toxocara infection in cats, 2020, Advances in Parasitology/Advances in parasitology
  • Global and regional seroprevalence estimates for human toxocariasis: A call for action, 2020, Advances in Parasitology/Advances in parasitology
  • Advances in the discovery and development of anthelmintics by harnessing natural product scaffolds, 2021, Advances in Parasitology/Advances in parasitology
  • A perspective on the discovery of selected compounds with anthelmintic activity against the barber's pole worm-Where to from here?, 2020, Advances in Parasitology/Advances in parasitology

The primary venues for publication include Advances in Parasitology, arXiv (Cornell University), The Cambridge Structural Database, Pathogens, and Molecules. Advances in Parasitology stands out as the most frequent publication venue, hosting several of Hofmann's recent articles.

Andreas Hofmann's collaborative network features frequent co-authors such as Robin B. Gasser, Tao Wang, Aya C. Taki, Abdul Jabbar, and Bill C. H. Chang, with multiple joint publications particularly within parasitology and molecular biology subjects.
