Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Jürg Utzinger is best known for:

Neglected tropical diseases
Helminths
Helminthiasis

Jürg Utzinger merges Helminths with Neglected tropical diseases in his study. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Disease and Neglected tropical diseases. He performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Disease and Tropical disease via his papers. His Tropical disease study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Pathology. Pathology and Immunology are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary work. As part of his studies on Immunology, Jürg Utzinger often connects relevant areas like Helminthiasis. His work in Helminthiasis is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Hookworm Infections. Much of his study explores Hookworm Infections relationship to Helminths. His research on Schistosomiasis frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Praziquantel.

His most cited work include:

Schistosomiasis and neglected tropical diseases: towards integrated and sustainable control and a word of caution (334 citations)
The influence of sampling effort and the performance of the Kato-Katz technique in diagnosing Schistosoma mansoni and hookworm co-infections in rural Cte dIvoire (223 citations)
Relative contribution of day-to-day and intra-specimen variation in faecal egg counts ofSchistosoma mansonibefore and after treatment with praziquantel (194 citations)

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

His Internal medicine study frequently involves adjacent topics like Epidemiology and Meta-analysis. His research on Immunology often connects related topics like Entamoeba coli. His study connects Ascaris lumbricoides and Entamoeba coli. His work often combines Ascaris lumbricoides and Helminthiasis studies. Jürg Utzinger combines Helminthiasis and Schistosoma haematobium in his studies. His Schistosoma haematobium study often links to related topics such as Schistosomiasis. Schistosomiasis is frequently linked to Praziquantel in his study. Praziquantel is closely attributed to Immunology in his work. He integrates Helminths and Eggs per gram in his studies.

Jürg Utzinger most often published in these fields:

Immunology (82.35%)
Helminths (64.71%)
Schistosomiasis (55.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2018)?

Immunology (100.00%)
Schistosomiasis (66.67%)
Helminths (66.67%)

In recent works Jürg Utzinger was focusing on the following fields of study:

Schistosoma mansoni and Praziquantel are inherently bound to his Schistosomiasis studies. Jürg Utzinger frequently studies issues relating to Schistosomiasis and Praziquantel. In his research, Jürg Utzinger performs multidisciplinary study on Immunology and Medical microbiology. In his study, Jürg Utzinger carries out multidisciplinary Medical microbiology and Immunology research. Jürg Utzinger incorporates Helminths and Schistosoma mansoni in his research. His study ties his expertise on Randomized controlled trial together with the subject of Internal medicine. Jürg Utzinger brings together Eggs per gram and Helminths to produce work in his papers. His Law research extends to the thematically linked field of People's Republic. His studies link People's Republic with Law.

Between 2015 and 2018, his most popular works were:

Policy Support and Resources Mobilization for the National Schistosomiasis Control Programme in The People's Republic of China (17 citations)
