1945 - 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:

  • Virus
  • Internal medicine
  • Disease

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Virus, Lassa virus, Lassa fever and Ebola virus. Karl M. Johnson performs multidisciplinary studies into Virology and Filoviridae in his work. The various areas that Karl M. Johnson examines in his Virus study include Host, Antibody, Outbreak and Microbiology.

His Lassa virus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Infectivity and Mastomys. His Lassa fever research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hepatitis A and Hepatitis. His research in Viremia intersects with topics in Odds ratio and Immunoglobulin G, Immunoglobulin M.

His most cited work include:

  • Lassa fever. Effective therapy with ribavirin. (757 citations)
  • Isolation of the Etiologic Agent of Korean Hemorrhagic Fever (746 citations)
  • Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses as Biological Weapons: Medical and Public Health Management (566 citations)

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

His main research concerns Virology, Virus, Immunology, Antibody and Ebola virus. His Virology research incorporates elements of Serology, Respiratory system and Antigen. In the field of Virus, his study on Titer, Viremia and Hemagglutination overlaps with subjects such as Bolivian hemorrhagic fever.

His Immunology research includes themes of Tropics, Epidemiology and Pneumonia. His study in Antibody is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Infectivity and Blood serum. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mastomys and Lassa fever in addition to Lassa virus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (83.23%)
  • Virus (42.58%)
  • Immunology (27.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1996-2020)?

  • Virology (83.23%)
  • Ebola virus (20.00%)
  • Virus (42.58%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virology, Ebola virus, Virus, Outbreak and Virus classification. His research integrates issues of Comparative biology and Biography in his study of Virology. His work in the fields of Ebolavirus overlaps with other areas such as Filoviridae and Confusion.

His Virus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mucoprotein and Tissue culture. His work carried out in the field of Outbreak brings together such families of science as Transmission, Ecology, Disease reservoir and Family medicine. His studies examine the connections between Natural history and genetics, as well as such issues in Intensive care medicine, with regards to Viral hemorrhagic fever and Immunology.

Between 1996 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses as Biological Weapons: Medical and Public Health Management (566 citations)
  • Proposal for a revised taxonomy of the family Filoviridae: classification, names of taxa and viruses, and virus abbreviations. (347 citations)
  • The Pathogenesis of Ebola Virus Disease (129 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Internal medicine
  • Disease

Karl M. Johnson focuses on Virology, Outbreak, Ebola virus, Virus and Marburg virus. The Outbreak study combines topics in areas such as Ecology and Disease reservoir. As part of one scientific family, Karl M. Johnson deals mainly with the area of Ebola virus, narrowing it down to issues related to the Natural history, and often Ebola vaccine.

Karl M. Johnson combines subjects such as Transmission and Serology with his study of Virus. In the subject of general Marburg virus, his work in Lloviu virus is often linked to Lloviu cuevavirus, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Family medicine, Biodefense, Epidemiology and Infection control.
