Overview

Carter T. Atkinson is affiliated with the United States Geological Survey in the United States, where their research focuses primarily on immunology and microbiology. Their body of work addresses parasitology and ecology, particularly the study of vector-borne infectious diseases and bird parasitology and diseases.

The scientist has contributed to several research topics, including:

  • Bird parasitology and diseases
  • Vector-borne infectious diseases
  • Animal Behavior and Reproduction
  • Malaria Research and Control
  • Mosquito-borne diseases and control
  • Yeasts and Rust Fungi Studies
  • Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases

Atkinson's publications span a number of subfields such as parasitology, ecology, public health and environmental health, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, and molecular biology.

They have published research in frequent venues including:

  • Ecology and Evolution
  • Journal of Heredity
  • Scientific Reports
  • Biological Invasions
  • International Journal for Parasitology

Recent papers authored or coauthored by Atkinson include:

  • Environmental monitoring for invasive fungal pathogens of ʽŌhiʽa (Metrosideros polymorpha) on the Island of Hawaiʽi, 2022, Biological Invasions

Other key papers in Atkinson's collaborative research record, although not directly authored by Atkinson but relevant to their coauthor network, are:

  • Transcriptome assembly and differential gene expression of the invasive avian malaria parasite Plasmodium relictum in Hawaiʻi, 2021, Ecology and Evolution
  • Gene expression reveals immune response strategies of naïve Hawaiian honeycreepers experimentally infected with introduced avian malaria, 2023, Journal of Heredity
  • Environmental and geographical factors influence the occurrence and abundance of the southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus, in Hawai'i, 2024, Scientific Reports
  • Linking avian malaria parasitemia estimates from quantitative PCR and microscopy reveals new infection patterns in Hawai'i, 2023, International Journal for Parasitology

The scientist frequently collaborates with other researchers, including:

  • Kristina L. Paxton
