Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Malaria
  • Climate change

His main research concerns Ecology, Malaria, Anopheles gambiae, Vector and Veterinary medicine. His Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Malaria risk and Anopheles. His research in the fields of Plasmodium falciparum overlaps with other disciplines such as East africa.

His Anopheles gambiae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Population density, Deforestation, Larva, Malaria transmission and Dry season. His Vector research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Tropical medicine and Environmental health. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Veterinary medicine, Biotechnology, Anopheles funestus and Blood meal is strongly linked to Malaria vector.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate change and vector-borne diseases: a regional analysis. (650 citations)
  • Association between climate variability and malaria epidemics in the East African highlands (385 citations)
  • Predicting malaria epidemics in the Kenyan highlands using climate data: a tool for decision makers. (175 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Malaria, Anopheles gambiae, Ecology, Veterinary medicine and Anopheles. In general Malaria, his work in Plasmodium falciparum is often linked to Transmission linking many areas of study. The concepts of his Anopheles gambiae study are interwoven with issues in Zoology, Biotechnology, Malaria vector, Larva and Mosquito control.

Andrew K. Githeko regularly ties together related areas like Population density in his Ecology studies. The Veterinary medicine study combines topics in areas such as Parasitology, Irrigation, Blood meal, Malaria transmission and Anopheles arabiensis. His Anopheles research includes elements of Culex, Plasmodium and Biting.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Malaria (56.57%)
  • Anopheles gambiae (45.71%)
  • Ecology (37.14%)

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

  • Malaria (56.57%)
  • Anopheles gambiae (45.71%)
  • Veterinary medicine (25.14%)

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

Andrew K. Githeko mainly investigates Malaria, Anopheles gambiae, Veterinary medicine, Plasmodium falciparum and Asymptomatic. Andrew K. Githeko interconnects Medical emergency and Environmental health in the investigation of issues within Malaria. His Anopheles gambiae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Zoology, Ecology, Larva and Malaria vector.

His Ecology research incorporates elements of Population structure, Gene flow, Genetic diversity, Insecticide resistance and Biological dispersal. His Veterinary medicine research integrates issues from Bioassay, Blood meal, Parasitology and Anopheles. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Virology, Amplicon, Microsatellite and Minor allele frequency, Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Impacts of Antimalarial Drugs on Plasmodium falciparum Drug Resistance Markers, Western Kenya, 2003-2015. (22 citations)
  • Microbial larvicides for mosquito control: Impact of long lasting formulations of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis and Bacillus sphaericus on non-target organisms in western Kenya highlands (17 citations)
  • Multiplicity and molecular epidemiology of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum infections in East Africa. (14 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Malaria
  • Climate change

His primary areas of investigation include Malaria, Asymptomatic, Parasitology, Plasmodium falciparum and Environmental health. His study in the field of Parasitemia is also linked to topics like Prospective cohort study. As part of the same scientific family, Andrew K. Githeko usually focuses on Parasitology, concentrating on Veterinary medicine and intersecting with Bioassay, Blood meal, Larva and Anopheles.

His study in Plasmodium falciparum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Multiplicity of infection and Virology. His Environmental health research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Odds ratio, Health services research, Case-control study, Giemsa stain and Malaria prophylaxis. His study looks at the intersection of Tropical medicine and topics like Demography with Anopheles gambiae.
