E. Tellervo Valtonen focuses on Ecology, Fish farming, Trematoda, Zoology and Predation. His Ecology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Perch. His Perch research integrates issues from Animal ecology, Rutilus, Genus and Intermediate host.

His Fish farming research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Transmission and Ichthyophthirius multifiliis. His research in Trematoda intersects with topics in Gastropoda, Lymnaea stagnalis, Snail and Outbreak. His Predation research includes themes of Escape response, Host and Adaptation.

His most cited work include:

  • Increasing water temperature and disease risks in aquatic systems: Climate change increases the risk of some, but not all, diseases (137 citations)
  • Parasite-induced change in host behaviour and susceptibility to predation in an eye fluke–fish interaction (137 citations)
  • Manipulation of fish host by eye flukes in relation to cataract formation and parasite infectivity (101 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Zoology, Host, Intermediate host and Trematoda. His Ecology study incorporates themes from Helminths, Rutilus and Perch. His Zoology research integrates issues from Salmo, Brown trout and Coregonus lavaretus.

The various areas that E. Tellervo Valtonen examines in his Intermediate host study include Pike, Parasitic castration, Cestoda, Longevity and Pisidium amnicum. E. Tellervo Valtonen has researched Trematoda in several fields, including Esox, Parasitism and Interspecific competition. His work carried out in the field of Predation brings together such families of science as Escape response, Phoca and Adaptation.

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Parasitism

E. Tellervo Valtonen mainly investigates Virulence, Flavobacterium columnare, Fish farming, Microbiology and Rainbow trout. His research integrates issues of Trematoda, Diplostomum spathaceum, Genotype, Infectivity and Genetic variation in his study of Virulence. His work deals with themes such as Transmission and Ecology, which intersect with Fish farming.

His Transmission research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Incidence, Disease, Aquatic animal, Aquatic ecosystem and Ichthyophthirius multifiliis.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those passionate about animals, studying Animal Science and Veterinary fields opens various career opportunities, many of which can be enhanced by pursuing related online degrees. For example, professionals interested in counseling roles may consider a substance abuse counselor degree online to support pet owners or animal handlers facing addiction challenges.

Additionally, combining knowledge of animal care with human services leads some to explore a master's in counseling. Programs such as marriage and family masters programs offer skills to help families improve relationships, including those involving pets.

For advanced specialization, pursuing a doctorate in counseling online allows animal science graduates to engage in research or clinical practice focusing on behavioral health issues of both humans and animals.

Moreover, exploring careers with animals that pay well highlights diverse roles from veterinary technicians to wildlife biologists, emphasizing the importance of education and practical experience in achieving fulfilling, well-compensated jobs in the animal sciences sector.
