1958 - 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:

  • Ecology
  • Virus
  • Disease

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Disease reservoir, Ecology, Hantavirus and Immunology. Virology and Rickettsiales are commonly linked in his work. His research investigates the connection between Disease reservoir and topics such as Evolutionary biology that intersect with issues in Ehrlichia muris.

His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Zoology and Population density. The Hantavirus study which covers Bunyaviridae that intersects with Black Creek Canal virus, Sigmodon hispidus, Serotype, Host and Tundra. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Sin Nombre virus, Zoonosis is strongly linked to Peromyscus.

His most cited work include:

  • Bats: Important Reservoir Hosts of Emerging Viruses (958 citations)
  • Genetic identification of a hantavirus associated with an outbreak of acute respiratory illness (926 citations)
  • Serologic and Genetic Identification of Peromyscus maniculatus as the Primary Rodent Reservoir for a New Hantavirus in the Southwestern United States (434 citations)

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

James E. Childs mainly focuses on Virology, Veterinary medicine, Rabies, Ecology and Disease reservoir. His work deals with themes such as Antibody, Serology and Peromyscus, which intersect with Virology. His study looks at the intersection of Peromyscus and topics like Borrelia burgdorferi with Polymerase chain reaction.

Borrowing concepts from Demography, James E. Childs weaves in ideas under Veterinary medicine. His Rabies research includes themes of Epizootic and Wildlife. His study looks at the relationship between Ecology and fields such as Zoology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (37.23%)
  • Veterinary medicine (18.44%)
  • Rabies (17.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2021)?

  • Ecology (14.89%)
  • Virology (37.23%)
  • Leptospirosis (3.90%)

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

Ecology, Virology, Leptospirosis, Wildlife and Zoology are his primary areas of study. James E. Childs interconnects Population density and Sampling design in the investigation of issues within Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Global health and Borrelia burgdorferi in addition to Virology.

His research on Wildlife also deals with topics like

  • Public health most often made with reference to Environmental health,
  • Transmission which intersects with area such as Rabies,
  • Zoonotic disease, which have a strong connection to Surveillance data and Animal welfare. His studies in Zoology integrate themes in fields like Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Species richness and Rodent. His work on Sin Nombre virus, Hantavirus and Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome as part of general Virus study is frequently linked to Whitewater Arroyo virus, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Between 2006 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Strategies for containing Ebola in West Africa. (228 citations)
  • Transovarial transmission of Borrelia spirochetes by Ixodes scapularis: A summary of the literature and recent observations (149 citations)
  • Ecological factors associated with West Nile virus transmission, northeastern United States. (99 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Virus
  • Disease

James E. Childs focuses on Virology, Veterinary medicine, Ecology, Leptospira and Leptospirosis. His Sigmodontinae research extends to Virology, which is thematically connected. James E. Childs combines subjects such as Vole, Arvicolinae, Puumala virus, Bank vole and Nephropathia epidemica with his study of Veterinary medicine.

His work on Wildlife as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Process, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Leptospira study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Analysis of variance, Epidemiology, Carriage, Titer and Urine. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Coinfection and Bartonella Infection, Bartonella, Microbiology.
