Overview

Donna M. Fekete is affiliated with Purdue University West Lafayette in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on the fields of Medicine, with specific attention to Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Infectious Diseases, Epidemiology, Sensory Systems, and Biomedical Engineering.

Their work addresses topics including mosquito-borne diseases and control, viral infections and vectors, virology and viral diseases, hearing, cochlea, tinnitus and genetics, acoustic wave phenomena research, as well as hearing loss and rehabilitation.

Frequent publication venues for this scientist include:

  • Viruses
  • Developmental Dynamics
  • The FASEB Journal

Their recent research articles are as follows:

  • "Zika virus can directly infect and damage the auditory and vestibular components of the embryonic chicken inner ear," 2020, Developmental Dynamics
  • "Exploring the Expression and Function of cTyro3, a Candidate Zika Virus Receptor, in the Embryonic Chicken Brain and Inner Ear," 2023, Viruses
  • "The acquisition of positional information in the developing cochlea," 2020, The FASEB Journal
  • "Embryonic and Neonatal Mouse Cochleae Are Susceptible to Zika Virus Infection," 2021, Viruses

Donna M. Fekete has collaborated frequently with the following coauthors:

  • Vidhya Munnamalai
  • Ankita Thawani
  • Nabilah H. Sammudin
  • Richard Kühn
  • Caryl A. Young

Their research has contributed to understanding viral infections, especially related to Zika virus impact on auditory and neural systems. The intersection of virology and sensory system function is a notable aspect of their work, linking infectious disease with developmental biology and sensory organ research.
