Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria
  • Virus

Govinda S. Visvesvara spends much of his time researching Acanthamoeba, Microbiology, Virology, Microsporidiosis and Balamuthia mandrillaris. His Acanthamoeba study incorporates themes from Keratitis, Dermatology, Naegleria fowleri and Surgery. His research on Microbiology focuses in particular on Protozoa.

His study focuses on the intersection of Microsporidiosis and fields such as Sputum with connections in the field of Albendazole and IIf. His study looks at the intersection of Balamuthia mandrillaris and topics like Naegleria with Meningitis. His Encephalitozoon intestinalis study which covers Polymerase chain reaction that intersects with Encephalitozoon cuniculi and Ribosomal DNA.

His most cited work include:

  • Free‐living, Amphizoic and Opportunistic Amebas (514 citations)
  • Case Definitions, Diagnostic Algorithms, and Priorities in Encephalitis: Consensus Statement of the International Encephalitis Consortium (422 citations)
  • Improved light-microscopical detection of microsporidia spores in stool and duodenal aspirates. The Enteric Opportunistic Infections Working Group. (407 citations)

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

Microbiology, Virology, Acanthamoeba, Pathology and Balamuthia mandrillaris are his primary areas of study. His work focuses on many connections between Microbiology and other disciplines, such as Naegleria fowleri, that overlap with his field of interest in Naegleria. The various areas that Govinda S. Visvesvara examines in his Virology study include Microsporidiosis, Antibody, Antigen and Polymerase chain reaction.

His work investigates the relationship between Microsporidiosis and topics such as Encephalitozoon cuniculi that intersect with problems in Sputum. His research investigates the link between Acanthamoeba and topics such as Keratitis that cross with problems in Surgery. Govinda S. Visvesvara studies Balamuthia mandrillaris, namely Balamuthia.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (38.31%)
  • Virology (28.63%)
  • Acanthamoeba (27.02%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2017)?

  • Balamuthia mandrillaris (22.98%)
  • Naegleria fowleri (16.53%)
  • Pathology (24.60%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Balamuthia mandrillaris, Naegleria fowleri, Pathology, Microbiology and Encephalitis. Balamuthia mandrillaris is a subfield of Virology that he studies. The Naegleria fowleri study combines topics in areas such as Naegleria gruberi, Naegleria and Cerebrospinal fluid.

The Biopsy research he does as part of his general Pathology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Ball, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His study in Microbiology focuses on Acanthamoeba and Protozoa. His Encephalitis research integrates issues from Internal medicine, Liver transplantation, Transplantation and Pediatrics.

Between 2012 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Case Definitions, Diagnostic Algorithms, and Priorities in Encephalitis: Consensus Statement of the International Encephalitis Consortium (422 citations)
  • Characterization of a new pathogenic Acanthamoeba Species, A. byersi n. sp., isolated from a human with fatal amoebic encephalitis. (89 citations)
  • Infections with free-living amebae (77 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria
  • Virus

His primary areas of investigation include Naegleria fowleri, Immunology, Acanthamoeba, Primary amebic meningoencephalitis and Antimicrobial. His Naegleria fowleri research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Whole genome sequencing, Gene, Nuclear gene, Mitochondrial DNA and Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. Govinda S. Visvesvara focuses mostly in the field of Immunology, narrowing it down to matters related to Disease and, in some cases, Kidney transplantation, Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Encephalitozoon intestinalis, Microsporidiosis and Encephalitozoon cuniculi.

His Acanthamoeba study contributes to a more complete understanding of Microbiology. He interconnects Keratitis, 18S ribosomal RNA, Phylogenetic tree and Virology in the investigation of issues within Microbiology. His Antimicrobial research includes themes of Elevated Intracranial Pressure, Phylogenetics, Sequence analysis and Follow up studies.
