Christopher John Schofield

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Genetics
• Zoology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Triatoma infestans, Triatominae, Chagas disease, Ecology and Zoology. His research investigates the connection with Triatoma infestans and areas like Rhodnius prolixus which intersect with concerns in Reduviidae. Christopher J. Schofield has included themes like Evolutionary biology, Polyphyly and Veterinary medicine in his Triatominae study.

His study in Chagas disease is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Transmission, Case detection and Trypanosomiasis. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Vector and Ecology. His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of DNA sequencing, Clade and Mitochondrial DNA.

His most cited work include:

• The impact of Chagas disease control in Latin America: a review (579 citations)
• The future of Chagas disease control (529 citations)
• UNDP/World Bank/WHO special programme for research and training in tropical diseases (TDR) (367 citations)

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

Christopher J. Schofield mainly investigates Triatominae, Zoology, Chagas disease, Triatoma infestans and Ecology. His Triatominae research incorporates elements of Evolutionary biology, Polyphyly and Veterinary medicine. Christopher J. Schofield combines subjects such as Population genetics, Rhodnius and Genetic variation with his study of Zoology.

His Chagas disease research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Transmission and Vector. His research integrates issues of Triatoma, Triatoma dimidiata and Rhodnius pallescens in his study of Vector. His studies in Triatoma infestans integrate themes in fields like Nymph, Toxicology, Habitat and Environmental health.

He most often published in these fields:

• Triatominae (37.74%)
• Zoology (36.79%)
• Chagas disease (33.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2018)?

• Chagas disease (33.96%)
• Triatominae (37.74%)
• Ecology (22.64%)

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

Christopher J. Schofield mostly deals with Chagas disease, Triatominae, Ecology, Vector and Immunology. The concepts of his Chagas disease study are interwoven with issues in Rhodnius prolixus, Forestry, Toxicology and Triatoma infestans. His Triatoma infestans study combines topics in areas such as Reduviidae and Rhodnius.

His Triatominae research integrates issues from Trypanosomiasis, Polyphyly, Subfamily and Systematics, Taxonomy. His Ecology study typically links adjacent topics like Evolutionary biology. His Vector study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Triatoma and Intensive care medicine.

Between 2005 and 2018, his most popular works were:

• The future of Chagas disease control (529 citations)
• Classification, evolution, and species groups within the Triatominae (281 citations)
• Phylogeography and Genetic Variation of Triatoma dimidiata, the Main Chagas Disease Vector in Central America, and Its Position within the Genus Triatoma (132 citations)

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.
