Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Disease

His primary areas of investigation include Leptospira, Leptospirosis, Virology, Dengue fever and Zika virus. His studies examine the connections between Leptospira and genetics, as well as such issues in Virulence, with regards to Mesocricetus and Pathogen. His work carried out in the field of Leptospirosis brings together such families of science as Slum and Environmental health.

In his study, Virus is strongly linked to Antibody, which falls under the umbrella field of Virology. Dengue fever is a subfield of Immunology that Mitermayer G. Reis investigates. His study looks at the relationship between Zika virus and topics such as Outbreak, which overlap with Epidemiology, Dengue virus, Pediatrics and Transmission.

His most cited work include:

  • Urban epidemic of severe leptospirosis in Brazil (639 citations)
  • Impact of Environment and Social Gradient on Leptospira Infection in Urban Slums (264 citations)
  • Pathogenic Leptospira species express surface-exposed proteins belonging to the bacterial immunoglobulin superfamily. (235 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Immunology, Leptospirosis, Leptospira and Internal medicine. Mitermayer G. Reis has included themes like Serology and Genotype in his Virology study. His work in Leptospirosis addresses issues such as Environmental health, which are connected to fields such as Socioeconomic status and Urban slum.

The various areas that Mitermayer G. Reis examines in his Internal medicine study include Gastroenterology and Endocrinology. While the research belongs to areas of Dengue fever, Mitermayer G. Reis spends his time largely on the problem of Transmission, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Disease. His Zika virus research includes elements of Pregnancy, Epidemiology and Outbreak.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (43.52%)
  • Immunology (31.54%)
  • Leptospirosis (28.12%)

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

  • Virology (43.52%)
  • Zika virus (26.41%)
  • Leptospira (26.16%)

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

Mitermayer G. Reis spends much of his time researching Virology, Zika virus, Leptospira, Transmission and Outbreak. The study incorporates disciplines such as Young adult, Neisseria meningitidis, Meningococcal disease, Antigen and Serology in addition to Virology. His Zika virus research incorporates elements of Pregnancy, Dengue virus, Dengue fever and Cohort.

Leptospira is a subfield of Leptospirosis that Mitermayer G. Reis studies. His research in Transmission intersects with topics in Epidemiology, Chikungunya, Herd, Disease and Basic reproduction number. His Outbreak study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bacteremia, Increased risk, Genotype and Burkholderia.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Impact of preexisting dengue immunity on Zika virus emergence in a dengue endemic region (114 citations)
  • Impact of preexisting dengue immunity on Zika virus emergence in a dengue endemic region (114 citations)
  • Impact of preexisting dengue immunity on Zika virus emergence in a dengue endemic region (114 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Disease

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Dengue fever, Outbreak, Zika virus and Chikungunya. His Dengue fever research is mostly focused on the topic Dengue virus. His research investigates the connection between Outbreak and topics such as Increased risk that intersect with problems in Virus, Attack rate and Genotype.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Zika virus, Titer, Serum antibody, Microcephaly and Physiology is strongly linked to Pregnancy. His work in Transmission addresses subjects such as Epidemiology, which are connected to disciplines such as Basic reproduction number, Disease, Environmental health and Gram-negative bacteria. His research integrates issues of Leptospirosis, Leptospira and Incidence in his study of Public health.
