Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Tick

Lise Gern mainly investigates Borrelia burgdorferi, Ixodes ricinus, Tick, Ixodidae and Lyme disease. Lise Gern interconnects Zoology, Microbiology and Virology in the investigation of issues within Borrelia burgdorferi. Her Ixodes ricinus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Borrelia afzelii, Ricinus and Polymerase chain reaction.

Her Tick research focuses on Molecular biology and how it relates to Molecular marker, Genetic marker and Ribosomal DNA. Acari covers Lise Gern research in Ixodidae. The study incorporates disciplines such as Vector, Incidence, Disease reservoir, Transmission and Lyme disease microbiology in addition to Lyme disease.

Her most cited work include:

  • Co-feeding ticks: Epidemiological significance for tick-borne pathogen transmission (279 citations)
  • Lyme borreliosis in Europe and North America. (264 citations)
  • European reservoir hosts of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. (202 citations)

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

Lise Gern mostly deals with Ixodes ricinus, Borrelia burgdorferi, Tick, Virology and Microbiology. Her Ixodes ricinus research includes elements of Ixodidae, Ixodes, Borrelia and Ricinus. Borrelia burgdorferi is closely attributed to Lyme disease in her research.

Her Tick research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Population density, Nymph and Seroconversion. The various areas that Lise Gern examines in her Virology study include Antibody and Polymerase chain reaction. Her Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Spirochaete, relapsing fever and Borrelia garinii.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ixodes ricinus (59.88%)
  • Borrelia burgdorferi (59.30%)
  • Tick (44.19%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2018)?

  • Ixodes ricinus (59.88%)
  • Tick (44.19%)
  • Borrelia burgdorferi (59.30%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Ixodes ricinus, Tick, Borrelia burgdorferi, Virology and Borrelia. Her studies in Ixodes ricinus integrate themes in fields like Borrelia afzelii and Ixodes. The concepts of her Tick study are interwoven with issues in Lyme disease and Infestation.

She focuses mostly in the field of Borrelia burgdorferi, narrowing it down to topics relating to Microbiology and, in certain cases, Polymerase chain reaction. Lise Gern has included themes like Spirochaete, Rickettsia helvetica and Arthropod Vector in her Borrelia study. Her work carried out in the field of Nymph brings together such families of science as Ixodidae and Acari.

Between 2010 and 2018, her most popular works were:

  • Ecology of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Europe: transmission dynamics in multi-host systems, influence of molecular processes and effects of climate change. (105 citations)
  • Infections and coinfections of questing Ixodes ricinus ticks by emerging zoonotic pathogens in Western Switzerland. (87 citations)
  • Are Apodemus spp. mice and Myodes glareolus reservoirs for Borrelia miyamotoi, Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis, Rickettsia helvetica, R. monacensis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum? (85 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Virus

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Ixodes ricinus, Ixodes, Tick, Borrelia and Borrelia burgdorferi. Ixodes ricinus is a subfield of Virology that she tackles. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ixodidae, Acari, Nymph and Babesia.

Her work is dedicated to discovering how Nymph, Tick infestation are connected with Zoology and Enzootic and other disciplines. Her Tick study is related to the wider topic of Ecology. Her research in Borrelia burgdorferi focuses on subjects like Host, which are connected to Lyme disease and Ecology.
