Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Gene, Reticulitermes, Gene expression and Juvenile hormone. His Genetics study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Eusociality. The concepts of his Gene study are interwoven with issues in Molecular biology, Parathion methyl, Cytochrome P450 and Botany.

His Reticulitermes research incorporates themes from Gut flora, Cellulase, Microbiology, Complementary DNA and Host. His Cellulase research incorporates elements of Hemicellulose and Ecology. His work focuses on many connections between Juvenile hormone and other disciplines, such as RNA interference, that overlap with his field of interest in Regulator gene and Gene silencing.

His most cited work include:

  • Molecular traces of alternative social organization in a termite genome (231 citations)
  • RNA interference in the termite Reticulitermes flavipes through ingestion of double-stranded RNA. (198 citations)
  • Genome-wide transcription profile of field- and laboratory-selected dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)-resistant Drosophila (196 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Reticulitermes, Botany, Biochemistry, Toxicology and Cellulase. His work carried out in the field of Reticulitermes brings together such families of science as Eusociality and Juvenile hormone. Michael E. Scharf combines subjects such as Genetics, Gene, Sex pheromone, Regulator gene and RNA interference with his study of Juvenile hormone.

His Gene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Molecular biology and Cytochrome P450. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Chlorpyrifos, Fipronil, German cockroach, Dictyoptera and Pesticide resistance. His Cellulase study combines topics in areas such as Digestion, Hindgut, Midgut and Microbiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Reticulitermes (36.67%)
  • Botany (22.00%)
  • Biochemistry (20.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Bed bug (4.67%)
  • Cimex lectularius (4.67%)
  • Reticulitermes (36.67%)

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

Michael E. Scharf spends much of his time researching Bed bug, Cimex lectularius, Reticulitermes, Toxicology and Ecology. Rhinotermitidae and Botany are the main areas of his Reticulitermes studies. Michael E. Scharf has researched Toxicology in several fields, including Bifenthrin and Abiotic component.

His biological study deals with issues like Microbial ecology, which deal with fields such as Sociality, Eusociality, Transcriptome, Xenobiotic and Microbiome. The study incorporates disciplines such as RNA interference and Gene in addition to Pathogen. Michael E. Scharf usually deals with Gene and limits it to topics linked to Linepithema and Genome and Gene expression.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Unique features of a global human ectoparasite identified through sequencing of the bed bug genome (118 citations)
  • Lower Termite Associations with Microbes: Synergy, Protection, and Interplay. (30 citations)
  • Toxicity and neurophysiological impacts of plant essential oil components on bed bugs (Cimicidae: Hemiptera). (29 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Michael E. Scharf mainly focuses on Toxicology, Bed bug, Bifenthrin, Cimex lectularius and Ecology. The Toxicology study combines topics in areas such as Cimicidae and Cockroach. His Bed bug research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Hematophagy, Genome and Traumatic insemination.

His studies deal with areas such as Protist and Holobiont as well as Ecology. Niche is closely attributed to Reticulitermes in his study. His Reticulitermes research includes elements of Blattodea, Imidacloprid and Microbiology.
