Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Parasitism
  • Genetics

Ecology, Zoology, Parasitism, Host and Snail are his primary areas of study. His Ecology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Helminths. He combines subjects such as Epizootiology, Centrarchidae, Lepomis, Epistylis and Aeromonas with his study of Zoology.

The various areas that he examines in his Parasitism study include Evolutionary biology, Community, Generalist and specialist species and Sympatric speciation. The Host study combines topics in areas such as Digenea and Predation. His work carried out in the field of Snail brings together such families of science as Gastropoda, Trematoda and Interspecific competition.

His most cited work include:

  • The use of ecological terms in parasitology (report of an ad hoc committee of the American Society of Parasitologists) (1684 citations)
  • Parasitism: The Diversity and Ecology of Animal Parasites (464 citations)
  • Parasite communities: patterns and processes. (338 citations)

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

Gerald W. Esch mainly investigates Ecology, Zoology, Host, Snail and Trematoda. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Population density and Helminths. His study in Helminths is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Abundance and Larva.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Sarcocystis, Anatomy, Sarcocystidae and Intermediate host in addition to Zoology. He has included themes like Nematode and Parasitology in his Host study. His Trematoda research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Amphibian and Rana clamitans.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (49.20%)
  • Zoology (28.34%)
  • Host (17.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2018)?

  • Ecology (49.20%)
  • Zoology (28.34%)
  • Parasitology (8.02%)

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

Gerald W. Esch focuses on Ecology, Zoology, Parasitology, Sarcocystis and Snail. His study in Parasitism and Community is carried out as part of his studies in Ecology. His studies in Zoology integrate themes in fields like Parasitic life cycles, Grus nigricollis, Eimeria and Coccidiosis.

His Parasitology study incorporates themes from Microevolution and Population biology. His studies examine the connections between Sarcocystis and genetics, as well as such issues in Sarcocystidae, with regards to Anatomy, Animal ecology and Intermediate host. His Snail research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Larva, Disturbance, Host, Waterfowl and Aquatic ecosystem.

Between 2011 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Prevalence, morphology, and molecular characteristics of Sarcocystis spp. in domestic goats (Capra hircus) from Kunming, China. (15 citations)
  • Sarcocystis spp. in domestic sheep in Kunming City, China: prevalence, morphology, and molecular characteristics. (10 citations)
  • Morphology, Molecular Characteristics, and Demonstration of a Definitive Host for Sarcocystis rommeli from Cattle (Bos taurus) in China. (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genetics
  • Parasitism

His primary areas of study are Sarcocystis, 18S ribosomal RNA, Intermediate host, Zoology and Polymerase chain reaction. His research investigates the connection between Sarcocystis and topics such as Sarcocystidae that intersect with issues in Animal ecology, Vole and Cricetidae. The subject of his Intermediate host research is within the realm of Ecology.

His studies deal with areas such as Species richness, Abiotic component and Disease reservoir as well as Zoology. His study looks at the relationship between Microevolution and fields such as Parasitology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His research integrates issues of Molecular biology, Williamson's mouse-deer and Anatomy in his study of Sarcocystosis.
