Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Bacteria

His scientific interests lie mostly in Immunology, Pediatrics, Epidemiology, Case-control study and Odds ratio. He has researched Immunology in several fields, including Neisseria meningitidis and Virology. His Pediatrics research includes themes of Intensive care medicine, Risk of death, Disease, Group B and Public health.

His Epidemiology study combines topics in areas such as Infectious disease, Listeria, Bartonella henselae and Risk factor. In Case-control study, Brian D. Plikaytis works on issues like Meningococcal disease, which are connected to Vaccine efficacy, Viral disease and Meningococcal vaccine. His Odds ratio research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Bartonellosis, Listeria monocytogenes and Cat-scratch disease.

His most cited work include:

  • Pasteurized milk as a vehicle of infection in an outbreak of listeriosis. (878 citations)
  • Trends in Mortality Due to Invasive Mycotic Diseases in the United States, 1980–1997 (594 citations)
  • Decline of Childhood Haemophilus influenzae Type b (Hib) Disease in the Hib Vaccine Era (584 citations)

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

Brian D. Plikaytis spends much of his time researching Immunology, Vaccination, Microbiology, Virology and Pediatrics. His Immunology research incorporates elements of Meningitis, Internal medicine and Meningococcal disease. The various areas that Brian D. Plikaytis examines in his Vaccination study include Meningitis Vaccine Project, MenAfriVac, Meningococcal vaccine and Conjugate vaccine.

In his research on the topic of Microbiology, Bacillus anthracis is strongly related with Antigen. Brian D. Plikaytis works mostly in the field of Virology, limiting it down to topics relating to Neisseria meningitidis and, in certain cases, Neisseriaceae and Molecular epidemiology. The concepts of his Pediatrics study are interwoven with issues in Incidence, Haemophilus influenzae, Case-control study, Disease and Risk factor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (39.71%)
  • Vaccination (22.06%)
  • Microbiology (21.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Immunology (39.71%)
  • Vaccination (22.06%)
  • Virology (19.85%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Immunology, Vaccination, Virology, Meningococcal vaccine and MenAfriVac. Brian D. Plikaytis combines subjects such as Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed and Streptococcus pneumoniae with his study of Immunology. His Streptococcus pneumoniae study incorporates themes from Serotype and Pneumonia.

His work carried out in the field of Vaccination brings together such families of science as Meningitis, Antibody and Meningitis Vaccine Project, Conjugate vaccine. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Titer and INVESTIGATIONAL VACCINES. To a larger extent, Brian D. Plikaytis studies Neisseria meningitidis with the aim of understanding Meningococcal vaccine.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Immunogenicity and safety of a meningococcal A conjugate vaccine in Africans. (145 citations)
  • Efficacy of a Low-Cost, Heat-Stable Oral Rotavirus Vaccine in Niger (88 citations)
  • Establishment of a new Human Pneumococcal Standard Reference serum 007sp (73 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria
  • Disease

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Immunology, Vaccination, Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed, Virology and Antibody. Brian D. Plikaytis regularly links together related areas like Randomized controlled trial in his Immunology studies. His Vaccination research integrates issues from Meningitis, Internal medicine and MenAfriVac, Conjugate vaccine.

The Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed study combines topics in areas such as Immunoglobulin G, Immune system, Antigen, Anthrax vaccines and Intramuscular injection. His Virology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Neisseria meningitidis, Microbiology, Molecular epidemiology, Meningococcal conjugate vaccine and Population structure. His Antibody research includes elements of Vial, Serotype and Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
