Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Malaria

Jorge Alvar mainly investigates Leishmaniasis, Immunology, Visceral leishmaniasis, Virology and Epidemiology. His study of Leishmania infantum is a part of Leishmaniasis. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Disease and Intensive care medicine.

His research in Visceral leishmaniasis intersects with topics in Global health, Internal medicine, Incidence and Pharmacology. The Virology study combines topics in areas such as Genotype, Apicomplexa and Polymerase chain reaction. His Epidemiology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

His most cited work include:

  • Leishmaniasis Worldwide and Global Estimates of Its Incidence (3074 citations)
  • Visceral leishmaniasis: what are the needs for diagnosis, treatment and control? (1139 citations)
  • The Relationship between Leishmaniasis and AIDS: the Second 10 Years (630 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Leishmaniasis, Visceral leishmaniasis, Immunology, Virology and Leishmania infantum. His Leishmaniasis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Epidemiology, Incidence, Disease and Leishmania. His Visceral leishmaniasis study incorporates themes from Veterinary medicine, Internal medicine, Pharmacotherapy and Intensive care medicine.

His Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome research extends to Immunology, which is thematically connected. His study in the field of Viral disease and Infectivity also crosses realms of Xenodiagnosis. The concepts of his Leishmania infantum study are interwoven with issues in Phlebotomus, Kinetoplastida, Psychodidae and Asymptomatic.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Leishmaniasis (55.19%)
  • Visceral leishmaniasis (49.35%)
  • Immunology (29.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Visceral leishmaniasis (49.35%)
  • Leishmaniasis (55.19%)
  • Internal medicine (16.88%)

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

Jorge Alvar focuses on Visceral leishmaniasis, Leishmaniasis, Internal medicine, Miltefosine and Incidence. The study incorporates disciplines such as Veterinary medicine, Asymptomatic and Intensive care medicine in addition to Visceral leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis is a subfield of Immunology that he investigates.

His work on Pharmacotherapy, Prospective cohort study, Disease burden and Survival analysis is typically connected to Major depressive disorder as part of general Internal medicine study, connecting several disciplines of science. His research integrates issues of Regimen, Adverse effect and Combination therapy in his study of Miltefosine. His Incidence research incorporates elements of Global health, Epidemiology, Neglected tropical diseases and Cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis in the Indian subcontinent: A threat to the South-East Asia Region Kala-azar Elimination Programme. (58 citations)
  • Recent Development of Visceral Leishmaniasis Treatments: Successes, Pitfalls, and Perspectives. (53 citations)
  • Quantifying the Infectiousness of Post-Kala-Azar Dermal Leishmaniasis Toward Sand Flies. (46 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Pathology

Visceral leishmaniasis, Leishmaniasis, Internal medicine, Miltefosine and Paromomycin are his primary areas of study. His study in Visceral leishmaniasis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Leishmania, Pharmacotherapy and Asymptomatic. His Leishmaniasis study results in a more complete grasp of Immunology.

His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Global health and Cutaneous leishmaniasis. His Miltefosine research integrates issues from Regimen and Intensive care medicine. As part of one scientific family, Jorge Alvar deals mainly with the area of Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis, narrowing it down to issues related to the Phlebotomus, and often Parasite load, Dermatology and Incidence.
