Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Immune system

José M. Blasco mainly focuses on Brucella melitensis, Virology, Brucellosis, Brucella and Brucella Vaccine. His research in the fields of Swine brucellosis overlaps with other disciplines such as Capra pyrenaica. The various areas that José M. Blasco examines in his Virology study include Complement fixation test and Antibody.

His research integrates issues of Mutant and Brucellaceae in his study of Antibody. His Brucellosis research is classified as research in Immunology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Pregnancy, Abortion and Immunization in addition to Vaccination.

His most cited work include:

  • Rough vaccines in animal brucellosis: structural and genetic basis and present status. (230 citations)
  • A review of the use of B. melitensis Rev 1 vaccine in adult sheep and goats (191 citations)
  • What have we learned from brucellosis in the mouse model (145 citations)

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

José M. Blasco mainly investigates Virology, Brucella melitensis, Brucella, Brucellosis and Microbiology. His Virology research includes elements of Attenuated vaccine, Complement fixation test and Antigen. His Brucella melitensis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Brucella Vaccine, Epitope and Vaccination.

His Brucella research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Endoplasmic reticulum, Gene and Meningoencephalitis. As a member of one scientific family, José M. Blasco mostly works in the field of Brucellosis, focusing on Serology and, on occasion, Flock and Green fluorescent protein. His Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lipopolysaccharide, BALB/c and Virulence.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (58.33%)
  • Brucella melitensis (48.33%)
  • Brucella (43.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2019)?

  • Brucellosis (41.67%)
  • Brucella (43.33%)
  • Swine brucellosis (11.67%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Brucellosis, Brucella, Swine brucellosis, Brucella suis and Vaccination. His work carried out in the field of Brucellosis brings together such families of science as Antigen and Bacteria. His studies deal with areas such as Serology and Antibody as well as Antigen.

José M. Blasco combines subjects such as Real-time polymerase chain reaction, Molecular marker and Microbiology with his study of Brucella. The concepts of his Vaccination study are interwoven with issues in Human brucellosis, Serological evidence and Zoonosis. His Virology research extends to the thematically linked field of Immunology.

Between 2014 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Brucellosis in Sub-Saharan Africa: Current challenges for management, diagnosis and control. (88 citations)
  • A review of the basis of the immunological diagnosis of ruminant brucellosis (35 citations)
  • A systematic review of current immunological tests for the diagnosis of cattle brucellosis. (28 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Immune system

His main research concerns Brucellosis, Vaccination, Immunology, Antigen and Brucella melitensis. His study in Brucellosis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Immunologic Tests and Antibody. His Immunologic Tests study incorporates themes from Epitope, Avidity and Virology.

His study in the field of Serology also crosses realms of Disease and Gold standard. His Human brucellosis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Serological evidence, Zoonosis and Environmental health. While working in this field, José M. Blasco studies both Brucella and Context.
