Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Jean I. Tsao is best known for:

Tick
Lyme disease
Borrelia burgdorferi

His study brings together the fields of Disease transmission and Virology. His study connects Virology and Disease transmission. Many of his studies on Antibody apply to LYME as well. LYME is frequently linked to Antibody in his study. He performs multidisciplinary studies into Borrelia burgdorferi and Spirochaetaceae in his work. He performs integrative study on Spirochaetaceae and Borrelia burgdorferi in his works. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Lyme disease and Zoonosis in his work. Zoonosis and Lyme disease are two areas of study in which Jean I. Tsao engages in interdisciplinary research. He carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Ecology and Biodiversity.

His most cited work include:

Fundamental processes in the evolutionary ecology of Lyme borreliosis (389 citations)
Sequence typing reveals extensive strain diversity of the Lyme borreliosis agents Borrelia burgdorferi in North America and Borrelia afzelii in Europe (299 citations)
Niche Partitioning of Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia miyamotoi in the Same Tick Vector and Mammalian Reservoir Species (252 citations)

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

Jean I. Tsao integrates Tick and Tick-borne disease in his research. He integrates Tick-borne disease with Lyme disease in his study. His research on Lyme disease often connects related areas such as Immunology. As part of his studies on Immunology, Jean I. Tsao often connects relevant subjects like Borrelia. His work on Borrelia is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Genetics. Jean I. Tsao applies his multidisciplinary studies on Genetics and Virology in his research. His studies link Tick with Virology. Ecology and Host (biology) are frequently intertwined in his study. Many of his studies on Host (biology) involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Ecology.
