Overview

Hon S. Ip is affiliated with the United States Geological Survey in the United States. Their research spans multiple fields, primarily focusing on Medicine and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Subfields of study include Infectious Diseases, Epidemiology, Animal Science and Zoology, Agronomy and Crop Science, and Molecular Biology.

Ip's work concentrates heavily on subjects related to viral infections and their epidemiology. Key research topics include SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 research, viral gastroenteritis research and epidemiology, influenza virus research studies, viral infections and vectors, animal virus infections studies, animal disease management and epidemiology, and bat biology and ecology studies.

Recent publications by Ip provide insight into their focus areas. These include:

  • "Possibility for reverse zoonotic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to free-ranging wildlife: A case study of bats" (2020), PLoS Pathogens
  • "H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza clade 2.3.4.4b in wild and domestic birds: Introductions into the United States and reassortments, December 2021-April 2022" (2023), Virology
  • "Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Clade 2.3.4.4b Infections in Wild Terrestrial Mammals, United States, 2022" (2023), Emerging infectious diseases
  • "Genesis and spread of multiple reassortants during the 2016/2017 H5 avian influenza epidemic in Eurasia" (2020), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • "SARS-CoV-2 Exposure in Escaped Mink, Utah, USA" (2021), Emerging infectious diseases

Ip frequently publishes in these venues:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Journal of Wildlife Diseases
  • Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation
  • Viruses
  • Emerging infectious diseases

Collaborations form a significant aspect of Ip's research efforts. Frequent co-authors include:

  • Mary Lea Killian
  • Mia Kim Torchetti
  • Kristina Lantz
  • Julianna B. Lenoch
  • Sarah N. Bevins

The scientist's work integrates cross-disciplinary methods to study the epidemiology, transmission, and ecology of infectious diseases affecting wildlife, domestic animals, and humans. This includes detailed investigations of zoonotic transmissions and viral pathogen dynamics in ecological contexts.
