Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

Francisco A. Rojo-Vázquez focuses on Veterinary medicine, Virology, Fasciola hepatica, Flock and Feces. His work in the fields of Anthelmintic overlaps with other areas such as Parasitic Sensitivity Tests. He interconnects Protozoa and DNA in the investigation of issues within Virology.

Francisco A. Rojo-Vázquez studies Fasciola hepatica, namely Fasciolosis. Francisco A. Rojo-Vázquez has included themes like Hepatica, Pcr assay, Cross reactions, Nested polymerase chain reaction and Immunoassay in his Flock study. His study on Eggs per gram is often connected to Gastric Content and In utero as part of broader study in Feces.

His most cited work include:

  • Resistance of Fasciola hepatica to triclabendazole and albendazole in sheep in Spain. (112 citations)
  • Excystment of Paragonimus westermani metacercariae by endogenous cysteine protease. (95 citations)
  • Update on trematode infections in sheep (83 citations)

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

Francisco A. Rojo-Vázquez mostly deals with Veterinary medicine, Fasciola hepatica, Feces, Anthelmintic and Flock. His research integrates issues of Teladorsagia circumcincta, Drug resistance and Albendazole in his study of Veterinary medicine. His work on Hepatica, Fasciolosis and Triclabendazole as part of general Fasciola hepatica study is frequently linked to Ochrobactrum intermedium, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Feces course of study focuses on Immunology and Saliva. The Anthelmintic study which covers Egg hatch assay that intersects with Hatching. His study in Flock is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Eggs per gram, Livestock, Epidemiology and Virology.
