Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

His main research concerns Virology, Microbiology, Polymerase chain reaction, Neisseria meningitidis and Gene. His Virology research includes themes of Clone and Genotype. Leonard W. Mayer works mostly in the field of Clone, limiting it down to topics relating to Oligomer restriction and, in certain cases, Peptide sequence, as a part of the same area of interest.

He interconnects Plasmid and Bacillus anthracis, Bacteria in the investigation of issues within Microbiology. His study in Polymerase chain reaction is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gold standard and Streptococcus pneumoniae. His biological study focuses on Meningococcal disease.

His most cited work include:

  • Identification of anthrax toxin genes in a Bacillus cereus associated with an illness resembling inhalation anthrax (406 citations)
  • Identification of scrapie prion protein-specific mRNA in scrapie-infected and uninfected brain. (406 citations)
  • Identification of scrapie prion protein-specific mRNA in scrapie-infected and uninfected brain. (406 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Microbiology, Neisseria meningitidis, Virology, Meningococcal disease and Genetics. His Microbiology research incorporates elements of Plasmid, Gene, Polymerase chain reaction and Bacteria. The Polymerase chain reaction study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology and Real-time polymerase chain reaction.

His Neisseria meningitidis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Meningitis, Carriage, Neisseriaceae, Genotype and Typing. Serotype is the focus of his Virology research. His work investigates the relationship between Meningococcal disease and topics such as Pediatrics that intersect with problems in Epidemiology and Disease.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (46.09%)
  • Neisseria meningitidis (44.53%)
  • Virology (39.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Neisseria meningitidis (44.53%)
  • Microbiology (46.09%)
  • Virology (39.84%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neisseria meningitidis, Microbiology, Virology, Genetics and Meningitis. His Neisseria meningitidis research includes themes of Real-time polymerase chain reaction, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Genotype. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gene, Polymerase chain reaction and Haemophilus.

His study in Virology focuses on Serotype in particular. His Meningitis study combines topics in areas such as Meningococcal meningitis, Strain and Incidence. His Meningococcal disease study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Penicillin, Antibiotic resistance and Pediatrics.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Application of TaqMan Low-Density Arrays for Simultaneous Detection of Multiple Respiratory Pathogens (162 citations)
  • Serogroup A meningococcal conjugate vaccination in Burkina Faso: analysis of national surveillance data (121 citations)
  • Current epidemiology and trends in invasive Haemophilus influenzae disease--United States, 1989-2008. (112 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Leonard W. Mayer spends much of his time researching Neisseria meningitidis, Microbiology, Virology, Haemophilus influenzae and Meningitis. His research investigates the link between Neisseria meningitidis and topics such as Genotype that cross with problems in Antigen, Subfamily, Genetic variation and Neisseriaceae. Leonard W. Mayer combines subjects such as Gene and Polymerase chain reaction with his study of Microbiology.

His Virology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Conjugate vaccine. His research integrates issues of Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Serotype in his study of Haemophilus influenzae. His Meningococcal disease research incorporates themes from Pediatrics and Public health.
