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

Naoaki Yokoyama spends much of his time researching Veterinary medicine, In vitro, Babesia, Babesia bovis and Theileria. His Veterinary medicine research includes themes of Livestock, Serology, Epidemiology and Theileria annulata. His In vitro study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Clofazimine, Malaria, Pharmacology and Microbiology.

His work carried out in the field of Babesia brings together such families of science as Mefloquine, Artemisinin, Lumefantrine and Primaquine. His work deals with themes such as IC50, Artesunate, Tafenoquine and Babesia bigemina, which intersect with Babesia bovis. The concepts of his Theileria study are interwoven with issues in Cell division cycle, Atovaquone, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification, Parasitemia and In vivo.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ellagic acid microspheres restrict the growth of Babesia and Theileria in vitro and Babesia microti in vivo. (25 citations)
