Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Virus
  • Disease

Ira M. Longini mainly focuses on Immunology, Pandemic, Vaccination, Outbreak and Virology. Her study in Immunology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Epidemiology, Incidence and Environmental health. Ira M. Longini integrates Pandemic with Transmission in her study.

Her research in the fields of Vaccine efficacy and Mass vaccination overlaps with other disciplines such as Economic cost. Her Outbreak study combines topics in areas such as Environmental protection, Vibrionaceae, Disease, Serology and Socioeconomics. Her Virology research includes elements of Statistics, Basic reproduction number, Pandemic influenza and Transmission risks and rates.

Her most cited work include:

  • The effect of travel restrictions on the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. (1382 citations)
  • Containing pandemic influenza at the source. (1037 citations)
  • Mitigation strategies for pandemic influenza in the United States (908 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Vaccination, Virology, Immunology, Outbreak and Vaccine efficacy. As part of one scientific family, Ira M. Longini deals mainly with the area of Vaccination, narrowing it down to issues related to the Environmental health, and often Transmission, Cholera, Cholera vaccine, Incidence and Vibrio cholerae. Her studies in Virology integrate themes in fields like Pandemic, Confidence interval and Basic reproduction number.

Her Pandemic study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, Influenza A virus and Pandemic influenza. The study incorporates disciplines such as Epidemiology and Disease in addition to Outbreak. Her Vaccine efficacy study deals with Statistics intersecting with Econometrics and Infectious disease.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Vaccination (29.51%)
  • Virology (30.16%)
  • Immunology (26.23%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Outbreak (22.30%)
  • Transmission (17.38%)
  • Vaccine efficacy (21.31%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Outbreak, Transmission, Vaccine efficacy, Vaccination and Epidemiology. Her Outbreak study is concerned with Virology in general. Her Vaccine efficacy research incorporates elements of Decision tree, Vaccine trial, Target population and Immunity.

Her Vaccination study is concerned with the larger field of Immunology. The concepts of her Epidemiology study are interwoven with issues in Serial interval, Incidence, Dengue virus, Disease and Zika virus. Her Pandemic research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Metropolitan area and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The effect of travel restrictions on the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. (1382 citations)
  • Efficacy and effectiveness of an rVSV-vectored vaccine in preventing Ebola virus disease: final results from the Guinea ring vaccination, open-label, cluster-randomised trial (Ebola Ça Suffit!). (506 citations)
  • Evolving epidemiology and transmission dynamics of coronavirus disease 2019 outside Hubei province, China: a descriptive and modelling study. (335 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Virus
  • Disease

Her main research concerns Outbreak, Transmission, Pandemic, Epidemiology and Transmission risks and rates. To a larger extent, Ira M. Longini studies Virology with the aim of understanding Outbreak. Her study with Pandemic involves better knowledge in Coronavirus disease 2019.

In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Epidemiology, Younger age is strongly linked to Serial interval. Her Transmission risks and rates research also works with subjects such as

  • Young adult that intertwine with fields like Attack rate and Random effects model,
  • Index case which intersects with area such as Confidence interval and Coronavirus. Her work on Infectious disease as part of general Disease study is frequently connected to Cooperative behavior, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
