Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Biochemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Animal science, Haemonchus contortus, Lysiloma latisiliquum and Fodder. His Botany research focuses on subjects like In vivo, which are linked to Dose–response relationship, Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Infective stage. His work carried out in the field of Haemonchus contortus brings together such families of science as Host, Feces, In vitro and Meal.

His Lysiloma latisiliquum study combines topics in areas such as Fabaceae, Onobrychis, Resistance and Anthelmintic. His Fodder study deals with Forage intersecting with Food science and Tannin. His work in Piscidia piscipula tackles topics such as Dry matter which are related to areas like Latin square.

His most cited work include:

  • Direct and indirect effects of bioactive tannin-rich tropical and temperate legumes against nematode infections (133 citations)
  • Tannin containing legumes as a model for nutraceuticals against digestive parasites in livestock. (116 citations)
  • In vitro larval migration and kinetics of exsheathment of Haemonchus contortus larvae exposed to four tropical tanniniferous plant extracts (87 citations)

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

His main research concerns Animal science, Dry matter, Haemonchus contortus, Botany and Agronomy. His Animal science study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nutrient, Leucaena leucocephala, Lysiloma latisiliquum and Fodder. The various areas that he examines in his Dry matter study include Organic matter, Criollo tobacco, Deciduous and Mucuna pruriens.

His Haemonchus contortus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Veterinary medicine, Anthelmintic and Food science. His Tannin and Onobrychis viciifolia study in the realm of Botany connects with subjects such as Brosimum alicastrum, Disease control and Chemical composition. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Fermentation, Feces and Pelibüey sheep.

Carlos A. Sandoval-Castro spends much of his time researching Animal science, Dry matter, Haemonchus contortus, Anthelmintic and Live weight. His work deals with themes such as Criollo tobacco and Deciduous, which intersect with Animal science. His Dry matter study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ruminant, Tropical forest, Woody plant and Vegetation.

His studies deal with areas such as Piscidia piscipula, Food science, Nutraceutical and Fodder as well as Haemonchus contortus.

  • Cytotoxic Furanoditerpenes from the Sponge Spongia tubulifera Collected in the Mexican Caribbean. (7 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Biochemistry

Animal science, Dry matter, Anthelmintic, Senegalia gaumeri and Food science are his primary areas of study. When carried out as part of a general Animal science research project, his work on Young sheep and Pelibüey sheep is frequently linked to work in Flight distance, Direct observation and Habituation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Carlos A. Sandoval-Castro works mostly in the field of Dry matter, limiting it down to topics relating to Live weight and, in certain cases, Neutral Detergent Fiber and Feed consumption.

His research integrates issues of Agriculture, Pesticide, Biotechnology and Bioproducts in his study of Anthelmintic. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Piscidia piscipula, Leucaena leucocephala and Acacia. He specializes in Haemonchus contortus, namely Egg hatch assay.
