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

  • Ecology
  • Genetics
  • Gene

Christopher J. Schofield spends much of his time researching Ecology, Triatominae, Chagas disease, Control methods and Tsetse control. In general Ecology study, his work on Triatoma, Entomology and Rhodnius often relates to the realm of Indoor residual spraying, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His work deals with themes such as Evolutionary biology, Polyphyly, Subfamily and Taxonomy, Systematics, which intersect with Triatominae.

His Chagas disease study is concerned with the larger field of Immunology. A majority of his Control methods research is a blend of other scientific areas, such as Glossinidae, Veterinary medicine, Latin Americans and Trypanosomiasis.
