Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Virus

Melissa A. Miller mainly investigates Ecology, Enhydra lutris, Toxoplasma gondii, Otter and Mustelidae. In most of her Ecology studies, her work intersects topics such as Zoology. Enhydra lutris is closely attributed to Threatened species in her work.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Juvenile, Cause of death, Marine mammal, Parasitic disease and Encephalitis in addition to Threatened species. Her Toxoplasma gondii study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phoca, Toxoplasmosis, Microbiology and Shellfish. The various areas that Melissa A. Miller examines in her Otter study include Feces, Meningoencephalitis, Campylobacter, Invertebrate and Fecal coliform.

Her most cited work include:

  • Coastal freshwater runoff is a risk factor for Toxoplasma gondii infection of southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) (290 citations)
  • Transmission of Toxoplasma: Clues from the study of sea otters as sentinels of Toxoplasma gondii flow into the marine environment * (244 citations)
  • PATTERNS OF MORTALITY IN SOUTHERN SEA OTTERS (ENHYDRA LUTRIS NEREIS) FROM 1998-2001 (203 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Enhydra lutris, Otter, Ecology, Toxoplasma gondii and Zoology. Her Enhydra lutris research incorporates elements of Phoca, Mustelidae, Cause of death and Sarcocystis. Melissa A. Miller focuses mostly in the field of Otter, narrowing it down to topics relating to Aquatic animal and, in certain cases, Helminths.

Her Marine mammal, Threatened species, Invertebrate and Water quality study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Marine ecosystem. Melissa A. Miller has researched Toxoplasma gondii in several fields, including Toxoplasmosis, Virology, Microbiology, Genotype and Serology. While the research belongs to areas of Zoology, Melissa A. Miller spends her time largely on the problem of Range, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Burmese python.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Enhydra lutris (62.18%)
  • Otter (57.14%)
  • Ecology (47.90%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Otter (57.14%)
  • Enhydra lutris (62.18%)
  • Nereis (26.05%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Otter, Enhydra lutris, Nereis, Zoology and Range. Her Otter research entails a greater understanding of Ecology. Her study brings together the fields of Population density and Ecology.

Her Enhydra lutris study combines topics in areas such as Resource, Wildlife rehabilitation, Aquatic animal, Population biology and Mite. The concepts of her Range study are interwoven with issues in Toxoplasmosis, Burmese python, Toxoplasma gondii, Host and Genotype. Her research integrates issues of Subspecies, Genome, Human virome and Phylogenetics in her study of Virology.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Type X strains of Toxoplasma gondii are virulent for southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) and present in felids from nearby watersheds. (14 citations)
  • Type X strains of Toxoplasma gondii are virulent for southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) and present in felids from nearby watersheds. (14 citations)
  • Defining the risk landscape in the context of pathogen pollution: Toxoplasma gondii in sea otters along the Pacific Rim. (14 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Virus

Her primary scientific interests are in Otter, Enhydra lutris, Range, Zoology and Ecology. Her studies deal with areas such as Genetic structure, Genetic monitoring, Conservation genetics and Virology as well as Otter. Her study in Enhydra lutris is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Subspecies, Parvovirus, Genome, Human virome and Phylogenetics.

Her Zoology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Toxoplasma gondii, Estuary, Toxoplasmosis and Genotype. Her studies link Population density with Ecology.
