Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Pathology
  • Ecology

Antonio Scala spends much of his time researching Veterinary medicine, Echinococcus granulosus, Cystic echinococcosis, Polymerase chain reaction and Cestoda. His Veterinary medicine research focuses on Zoonosis in particular. His Echinococcus granulosus study typically links adjacent topics like Breed.

Antonio Scala combines subjects such as Cyst and Lung with his study of Cystic echinococcosis. His research investigates the connection with Polymerase chain reaction and areas like Genotype which intersect with concerns in Livestock and Prevalence. The concepts of his Cestoda study are interwoven with issues in Bovidae and Mitochondrial DNA.

His most cited work include:

  • The influence of flotation solution, sample dilution and the choice of McMaster slide area (volume) on the reliability of the McMaster technique in estimating the faecal egg counts of gastrointestinal strongyles and Dicrocoelium dendriticum in sheep (143 citations)
  • Molecular characterization of Echinococcus granulosus in sheep and goats of Peloponnesus, Greece. (86 citations)
  • Cystic echinococcosis in slaughtered sheep in Sardinia (Italy). (69 citations)

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

Antonio Scala mostly deals with Veterinary medicine, Echinococcus granulosus, Zoology, Epidemiology and Pathology. Zoonosis is the focus of his Veterinary medicine research. His Echinococcus granulosus research also works with subjects such as

  • Livestock which connect with Species complex,
  • Polymerase chain reaction together with Mitochondrial DNA.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Zoology, Genetic variation are connected with Genetic variability, Haplotype and Taenia and other disciplines. The Epidemiology study which covers Breed that intersects with Helminths. The study incorporates disciplines such as Magnetic resonance imaging and In vivo in addition to Pathology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Veterinary medicine (59.04%)
  • Echinococcus granulosus (19.28%)
  • Zoology (16.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Veterinary medicine (59.04%)
  • Epidemiology (16.87%)
  • Echinococcus granulosus (19.28%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Veterinary medicine, Epidemiology, Echinococcus granulosus, Genotype and Anthelmintic. In the subject of general Veterinary medicine, his work in Anthelmintic drug is often linked to Pooling, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His work focuses on many connections between Echinococcus granulosus and other disciplines, such as Species complex, that overlap with his field of interest in Sensu, Zoonosis and Cyst.

The Genotype study combines topics in areas such as Wild boar and Mediterranean Basin. His Wild boar research focuses on subjects like Cystic echinococcosis, which are linked to Metacestode. Antonio Scala focuses mostly in the field of Anthelmintic, narrowing it down to matters related to Excretion and, in some cases, Significant risk, Helminths, Breed and Eggs per gram.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Epidemiological survey on cystic echinococcosis in wild boar from Central Italy. (14 citations)
  • Cystic echinococcosis in wild boars (Sus scrofa) from southern Italy: Epidemiological survey and molecular characterization. (7 citations)
  • Cystic echinococcosis in the endemic island of Sardinia (Italy): has something changed? (5 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Pathology
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Echinococcus granulosus, Veterinary medicine, Fertility, Genotype and Wild boar. Echinococcus granulosus connects with themes related to Epidemiology in his study. His Epidemiology research includes themes of Sensu, Zoonosis and Cyst.

His research in Fertility intersects with topics in Mediterranean Basin, Ungulate, Species complex, Spleen and Livestock. His Genotype research incorporates elements of Cystic echinococcosis, Hunting season and Metacestode.
