Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Veterinary medicine, Zoology, Myxosporea, Polar capsule and Helminths. His Veterinary medicine research integrates issues from Feces, Ancylostoma and Macaque. His work often combines Zoology and Vulpes studies.

The Myxosporea study which covers Anatomy that intersects with Spore and Bivalvulida. His study looks at the relationship between Strongyloidiasis and topics such as Strongyloides, which overlap with Ribosomal DNA. His Kudoa study introduces a deeper knowledge of Myxozoa.

His most cited work include:

  • Kudoa septempunctata n. sp. (Myxosporea: Multivalvulida) from an aquacultured olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) imported from Korea. (83 citations)
  • Molecular identification of the causative agent of human strongyloidiasis acquired in Tanzania: dispersal and diversity of Strongyloides spp. and their hosts. (57 citations)
  • Hyper-variable regions in 18S rDNA of Strongyloides spp. as markers for species-specific diagnosis (50 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Zoology, Myxosporea, Myxozoa, Ecology and Veterinary medicine. His research integrates issues of Ribosomal RNA, Phylogenetic tree, Internal transcribed spacer and Anatomy in his study of Zoology. The study of Phylogenetic tree is intertwined with the study of Phylogenetics in a number of ways.

Hiroshi Sato has researched Internal transcribed spacer in several fields, including Nematode and Genetic diversity. His Myxosporea research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Polar capsule and Bivalvulida. His work on Veterinary medicine is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Helminths.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (50.80%)
  • Myxosporea (18.18%)
  • Myxozoa (16.04%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Zoology (50.80%)
  • Myxosporea (18.18%)
  • Myxozoa (16.04%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Zoology, Myxosporea, Myxozoa, Kudoa and Phylogenetic tree. His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ribosomal RNA, Internal transcribed spacer, Ecology and Bivalvulida. His work deals with themes such as Myxobolus and Anatomy, which intersect with Myxozoa.

His study in Anatomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Myxobolidae, Gobioninae, Abbottina rivularis and Ribosomal DNA. His study looks at the intersection of Kudoa and topics like Fishery with Molecular phylogenetics. His work focuses on many connections between Phylogenetic tree and other disciplines, such as Polar capsule, that overlap with his field of interest in Taxonomy.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • New host records of monacanthid fish for three Kudoa spp. (K. septempunctata, K. thyrsites, and K. shiomitsui) prevalent in the olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), with the description of K. parathyrsites n. sp. from a black scraper (Thamnaconus modestus) (22 citations)
  • Morphological and molecular genetic characterization of two Kudoa spp., K. musculoliquefaciens , and K. pleurogrammi n. sp. (Myxosporea: Multivalvulida), causing myoliquefaction of commercial marine fish (13 citations)
  • Molecular features of hookworm larvae (Necator spp.) raised by coproculture from Ugandan chimpanzees and Gabonese gorillas and humans. (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Gene

Hiroshi Sato mainly investigates Zoology, Myxosporea, Kudoa, Myxozoa and Gene. Hiroshi Sato combines subjects such as Ecology, Trypanosoma cruzi and Botany with his study of Zoology. His Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Myxobolus and Bivalvulida.

Hiroshi Sato frequently studies issues relating to Anatomy and Myxosporea. His Fishery research extends to Kudoa, which is thematically connected. He has included themes like Trypanosomatida, Subgenus and Intermediate host in his Gene study.
