2015 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
Amphibian, Antimicrobial peptides, Ecology, Fungus and Pathogen are her primary areas of study. Her work on Chytridiomycosis as part of general Amphibian research is frequently linked to Environmental pollution, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her study focuses on the intersection of Antimicrobial peptides and fields such as Zoology with connections in the field of Innate immune system and Litoria chloris.
Many of her research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Zoospore with Zoospore, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Her research investigates the connection between Fungus and topics such as Microbiology that intersect with problems in Lymphocyte proliferation. The concepts of her Pathogen study are interwoven with issues in Threatened species, Captivity, Vertebrate and Tree frog.
Louise A. Rollins-Smith mainly focuses on Amphibian, Chytridiomycosis, Antimicrobial peptides, Ecology and Microbiology. Her Amphibian research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Zoology, Pathogen, Immune system, Host and Fungus. Her Chytridiomycosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Panzootic and Emerging infectious disease.
Her Antimicrobial peptides research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Innate immune system, Virology, Lithobates pipiens and Lithobates. She combines subjects such as Disease and Outbreak with her study of Ecology. Her Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transmission, Mucus, Peptide and Bacteria.
Louise A. Rollins-Smith mainly investigates Amphibian, Chytridiomycosis, Zoology, Ecology and Antimicrobial peptides. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pathogen, Immunity, Host, Disease and Fungus. Her Chytridiomycosis research integrates issues from Macrobrachium rosenbergii, Prawn, Pelophylax, Tadpole and Discoglossus.
Her Zoology research incorporates elements of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans, Biodiversity and Leopard frog. In the subject of general Ecology, her work in Phenotypic plasticity, Metamorphosis and Larva is often linked to Developmental plasticity, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Her Antimicrobial peptides study contributes to a more complete understanding of Microbiology.
Louise A. Rollins-Smith focuses on Amphibian, Ecology, Disease, Chytridiomycosis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans. Louise A. Rollins-Smith incorporates Amphibian and Pandemic in her research. Her Ecology study frequently links to other fields, such as Microbiome.
The various areas that she examines in her Disease study include Zoology, Biodiversity and Panzootic. Her work carried out in the field of Chytridiomycosis brings together such families of science as Pelophylax, Critically endangered, Threatened species, Discoglossus and Ectotherm. Her Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans research includes themes of Acquired immune system, Vertebrate, Ranavirus and Immunity.
