2016 - Fellow of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Genome

Nikos Vasilakis mostly deals with Virology, Dengue fever, Arbovirus, Transmission and Zika virus. Nikos Vasilakis usually deals with Virology and limits it to topics linked to Phylogenetics and Taxonomy and Genus. His Dengue fever research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Enzootic, Serotype and Japanese encephalitis.

His Arbovirus study which covers Adaptation that intersects with Vero cell, Serial passage and Mutation. His studies in Transmission integrate themes in fields like Flavivirus, Recombinant virus and Aedes. His Zika virus study combines topics in areas such as Mode of action, Outbreak, Microcephaly and Drug discovery.

His most cited work include:

  • Zika virus: History, emergence, biology, and prospects for control. (399 citations)
  • Characterization of a Novel Murine Model to Study Zika Virus (345 citations)
  • Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales: update 2016 (307 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Zika virus, Virus, Dengue fever and Dengue virus. His research integrates issues of Phylogenetics and Genome in his study of Virology. The various areas that he examines in his Phylogenetics study include Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Rhabdoviridae, Phylogenetic tree and Whole genome sequencing.

Nikos Vasilakis has included themes like Transmission, Viremia and Microcephaly in his Zika virus study. His research integrates issues of Yellow fever and Genotype in his study of Dengue fever. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Epidemiology and Disease.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (72.56%)
  • Zika virus (28.66%)
  • Virus (28.66%)

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

  • Virology (72.56%)
  • Virus (28.66%)
  • Zika virus (28.66%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virology, Virus, Zika virus, Dengue fever and Arbovirus. The concepts of his Virology study are interwoven with issues in Taxonomy and Virus classification, Genome. When carried out as part of a general Virus research project, his work on Vero cell is frequently linked to work in Birnaviridae, Drosophila X virus and Entomobirnavirus, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His Zika virus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Viremia, Transmission, Chikungunya, Microcephaly and Fetal brain. His work on Dengue virus as part of general Dengue fever study is frequently connected to In patient, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Arbovirus study combines topics in areas such as Serology and Cerebrospinal fluid.

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)
  • Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales: update 2019. (87 citations)
  • Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales: second update 2018 (45 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Genome

Virology, Outbreak, Zika virus, Taxonomy and Order Mononegavirales are his primary areas of study. His research brings together the fields of Aedes albopictus and Virology. As part of one scientific family, Nikos Vasilakis deals mainly with the area of Outbreak, narrowing it down to issues related to the Epidemiology, and often Dengue virus and Dengue fever.

His studies deal with areas such as Transmission and Viremia as well as Zika virus. His Taxonomy research includes themes of Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics, Species complex and Taxon. Nikos Vasilakis has researched Flavivirus in several fields, including Arbovirus and Neutralizing antibody.
