Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Virology, Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, Virus, Influenza A virus and Reassortment. He connects Virology with Human mortality from H5N1 in his study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Viral disease, Viral evolution, Molecular epidemiology and Outbreak in addition to Influenza A virus subtype H5N1.

His work carried out in the field of Viral evolution brings together such families of science as Hemagglutinin, Antigenic Diversity, Panzootic and Serotype. His Outbreak research incorporates elements of Zoology and Evolutionary biology. The concepts of his Influenza A virus study are interwoven with issues in Viral load, Drug resistance and Neuraminidase.

His most cited work include:

  • Origins and evolutionary genomics of the 2009 swine-origin H1N1 influenza A epidemic. (1624 citations)
  • Fatal outcome of human influenza A (H5N1) is associated with high viral load and hypercytokinemia (1474 citations)
  • Genesis of a highly pathogenic and potentially pandemic H5N1 influenza virus in eastern Asia (1132 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Virus, Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, Influenza A virus and Reassortment. Many of his research projects under Virology are closely connected to Pandemic and H5N1 genetic structure with Pandemic and H5N1 genetic structure, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His studies examine the connections between Virus and genetics, as well as such issues in Phylogenetics, with regards to Genetic variation and Genetic diversity.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hemagglutinin, Zoology, Viral disease and Host. His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Panzootic, Rodent and Phylogenetic tree. His Influenza A virus research includes elements of Ecology, Viral phylodynamics and Neuraminidase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (93.16%)
  • Virus (66.84%)
  • Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 (64.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Virology (93.16%)
  • Virus (66.84%)
  • Eonycteris spelaea (12.63%)

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

Gavin J. D. Smith spends much of his time researching Virology, Virus, Eonycteris spelaea, Clade and Zoology. His Virology study frequently links to other fields, such as Adult population. Gavin J. D. Smith has researched Virus in several fields, including Innate immune system, Genome, Outbreak and Phylogenetics.

His research integrates issues of Lineage, Host adaptation, Phenotype, Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 and Enzootic in his study of Outbreak. In his works, Gavin J. D. Smith conducts interdisciplinary research on Phylogenetics and Reassortment. His Zoology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Host, Rodent, Callosciurus notatus and Rattus tiomanicus.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of a major deletion in the SARS-CoV-2 genome on the severity of infection and the inflammatory response: an observational cohort study. (139 citations)
  • Discovery and Genomic Characterization of a 382-Nucleotide Deletion in ORF7b and ORF8 during the Early Evolution of SARS-CoV-2. (102 citations)
  • Discovery and Genomic Characterization of a 382-Nucleotide Deletion in ORF7b and ORF8 during the Early Evolution of SARS-CoV-2. (102 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Virus, Genome, Virology, Phylogenetics and Genetics. Gavin J. D. Smith carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Virology and Reassortment. In general Genetics study, his work on Open reading frame, Regulatory sequence, Viral load and Transcription often relates to the realm of Wild type, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Gavin J. D. Smith combines subjects such as Phenotype, Host adaptation and Outbreak with his study of Open reading frame. Many of his studies on Regulatory sequence apply to Viral replication as well. His work deals with themes such as Influenza a and Viral Vaccine, which intersect with Viral replication.
