Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Disease
  • Internal medicine

Herman Egberink mainly investigates Virology, CATS, Virus, Feline infectious peritonitis and Feline coronavirus. His Virology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Reverse transcriptase and Immunology. Herman Egberink interconnects Disease, Enteritis and Vaccination in the investigation of issues within CATS.

His Vaccination research includes elements of Transmission, Viral shedding and Jaundice. His research in the fields of Viral disease overlaps with other disciplines such as Coronaviridae. His Feline immunodeficiency virus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Feline leukaemia virus, Zidovudine, Virus isolation, Feline leukaemia virus infection and Western blot.

His most cited work include:

  • Detection of feline coronavirus RNA in feces, tissues, and body fluids of naturally infected cats by reverse transcriptase PCR (158 citations)
  • Feline herpesvirus infection. ABCD guidelines on prevention and management (152 citations)
  • Plant lectins are potent inhibitors of coronaviruses by interfering with two targets in the viral replication cycle. (133 citations)

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

His main research concerns Virology, CATS, Virus, Feline immunodeficiency virus and Immunology. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology and Antibody, Serology as well as Virology. His work focuses on many connections between Antibody and other disciplines, such as Antigen, that overlap with his field of interest in Monoclonal antibody.

The CATS study combines topics in areas such as Microbiology and Transmission, Vaccination, Disease, Pathology.

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

  • Virus
  • Disease
  • Internal medicine

His primary scientific interests are in CATS, Virology, Internal medicine, Pathology and Feces. His CATS research integrates issues from Whole blood, Surgery, Adverse effect, Lungworm and Milbemycin oxime. Herman Egberink has included themes like Transfusion reaction, Blood transfusion, Immunodeficiency virus and Intensive care medicine in his Adverse effect study.

Among his research on Virology, you can see a combination of other fields of science like Rickettsia conorii and Rickettsia felis. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of MEDLINE and Polymerase chain reaction. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Feces, Veterinary medicine is strongly linked to Clostridium difficile.
