1953 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria

His primary scientific interests are in Fish farming, Tilapia, Aquaculture, Pathology and Virus. His work carried out in the field of Fish farming brings together such families of science as Ecology and Pathogen. Hugh W. Ferguson combines subjects such as Salmonidae, Salmo and Gill with his study of Ecology.

The various areas that Hugh W. Ferguson examines in his Tilapia study include Oreochromis and Microbiology. His Aquaculture research includes elements of Melatonin, Aquatic animal, Fishery and Animal science. His Pathology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Kidney and Iridovirus.

His most cited work include:

  • Characterization of a Novel Orthomyxo-like Virus Causing Mass Die-Offs of Tilapia (110 citations)
  • Systemic Pathology of Fish (103 citations)
  • Systemic pathology of fish : a text and atlas of normal tissues in teleosts and their responses in disease (100 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Pathology, Fishery, Salmo, Microbiology and Zoology. His Pathology study which covers Inflammation that intersects with Skeletal muscle. His Fishery study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Aquatic animal and Bacterial disease.

The concepts of his Salmo study are interwoven with issues in High prevalence, Outbreak, Aquaculture, Disease and Oncorhynchus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Oreochromis, Rainbow trout and Polymerase chain reaction in addition to Microbiology. His research in Zoology tackles topics such as Anatomy which are related to areas like Lesion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pathology (26.37%)
  • Fishery (25.27%)
  • Salmo (20.88%)

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

  • Salmo (20.88%)
  • Aquaculture (15.38%)
  • Virus (13.19%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Salmo, Aquaculture, Virus, Zoology and Fishery. His Salmo study combines topics in areas such as Alphavirus infection, Ploidy and Oncorhynchus. His Aquaculture research includes themes of Genetics, Tilapia, Outbreak, Veterinary medicine and Tilapia lake virus.

His Tilapia lake virus study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Fish farming. Hugh W. Ferguson interconnects Aquatic animal and Grouper, Epinephelus marginatus in the investigation of issues within Fishery. Hugh W. Ferguson focuses mostly in the field of Inflammation, narrowing it down to topics relating to Pathology and, in certain cases, Pathogen.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Characterization of a Novel Orthomyxo-like Virus Causing Mass Die-Offs of Tilapia (110 citations)
  • Detection of Tilapia Lake Virus in Clinical Samples by Culturing and Nested Reverse Transcription-PCR. (67 citations)
  • Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) disease diagnosed on a British Columbia salmon farm through a longitudinal farm study (47 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria

Hugh W. Ferguson mainly focuses on Salmo, Orthoreovirus, Tilapia lake virus, Virus and Aquaculture. His study in Salmo is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zoology, High prevalence, Strain, Disease and Skeletal muscle. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Tilapia, Syncytium, Capsid, Golgi apparatus and Fish farming.

His research integrates issues of Isolation, Pathogen and Emerging pathogen in his study of Fish farming. His Virus study incorporates themes from Ultrastructure and Reverse transcriptase. Hugh W. Ferguson has researched Aquaculture in several fields, including Genome and Genomic organization.
