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:
