Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Ecology
  • Public health

Her main research concerns Malaria, Environmental protection, Environmental health, Transmission and Socioeconomics. Her Malaria research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Epidemiology and Public health. Her work deals with themes such as Agricultural extension, Agriculture, Environmental exposure and Amazon rainforest, which intersect with Environmental protection.

In her research, Scale is intimately related to Socioeconomic status, which falls under the overarching field of Agriculture. Her Environmental health research incorporates themes from Tropical medicine, Mosquito control, Insect bites and stings and Malaria transmission. Her study looks at the intersection of Socioeconomics and topics like Urbanization with Incidence, Sustainable development, Socioeconomic development, Sanitation and Disease burden.

Her most cited work include:

  • Congenital Zika virus syndrome in Brazil: a case series of the first 1501 livebirths with complete investigation (363 citations)
  • URBANIZATION IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA AND IMPLICATION FOR MALARIA CONTROL (263 citations)
  • EFFECT OF IRRIGATION AND LARGE DAMS ON THE BURDEN OF MALARIA ON A GLOBAL AND REGIONAL SCALE (232 citations)

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

Marcia C. Castro spends much of her time researching Malaria, Environmental health, Public health, Epidemiology and Amazon rainforest. Her Malaria study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Environmental protection. Her Environmental health study deals with Incidence intersecting with Dengue fever.

The Public health study combines topics in areas such as Outbreak, Pediatrics and Socioeconomics. Her Socioeconomics study combines topics in areas such as Poverty and Health care. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cartography and Environmental planning in addition to Amazon rainforest.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Malaria (24.60%)
  • Environmental health (18.72%)
  • Public health (17.65%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Epidemiology (12.30%)
  • Environmental health (18.72%)
  • Coronavirus disease 2019 (6.42%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Epidemiology, Environmental health, Coronavirus disease 2019, Public health and Outbreak. Marcia C. Castro has researched Epidemiology in several fields, including Ecological study, Mortality rate and Cumulative incidence. Her Environmental health study incorporates themes from Socioeconomic status, Incidence, Health facility and Malaria.

Her studies deal with areas such as Elderly people, Health care and Vaccination as well as Coronavirus disease 2019. The various areas that Marcia C. Castro examines in her Public health study include Odds ratio and Cohort. Her Outbreak research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cholera and Predictability.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Resurgence of COVID-19 in Manaus, Brazil, despite high seroprevalence. (151 citations)
  • Brazil's unified health system: the first 30 years and prospects for the future. (139 citations)
  • Three-quarters attack rate of SARS-CoV-2 in the Brazilian Amazon during a largely unmitigated epidemic. (113 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Ecology
  • Public health

Marcia C. Castro focuses on Coronavirus disease 2019, Epidemiology, Amazon rainforest, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and Outbreak. Her studies in Epidemiology integrate themes in fields like Offspring, Prospective cohort study, Gestation and Cumulative incidence. Her Amazon rainforest research includes themes of Nonprobability sampling, Traceability and Vaccination.

In her study, Socioeconomics is inextricably linked to 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak, which falls within the broad field of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Her research integrates issues of Urbanization, Pandemic and Disease in her study of Outbreak. Marcia C. Castro has included themes like Transmission and Malaria in her Development economics study.
