Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Disease

Nuno Rodrigues Faria focuses on Outbreak, Transmission, Virology, Zika virus and Demography. His study looks at the relationship between Outbreak and fields such as Viral Epidemiology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Virology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cell, Cell cycle and Cell growth.

He has researched Zika virus in several fields, including Molecular epidemiology and Aedes. His Basic reproduction number study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Epidemic spread, Clade and Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. His 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak study combines topics in areas such as Coronavirus disease 2019 and Environmental health.

His most cited work include:

  • The effect of human mobility and control measures on the COVID-19 epidemic in China. (981 citations)
  • Zika virus in the Americas: Early epidemiological and genetic findings (709 citations)
  • Zika virus in the Americas: Early epidemiological and genetic findings (709 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Virology, Outbreak, Transmission, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and Coronavirus disease 2019. His Virology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lineage, Molecular clock, DNA sequencing and Genomics. The various areas that Nuno Rodrigues Faria examines in his Outbreak study include Transmission, Genotype and Zika virus.

He works mostly in the field of Zika virus, limiting it down to concerns involving Epidemiology and, occasionally, Public health. Nuno Rodrigues Faria performs integrative study on Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and Air travel. In general Coronavirus disease 2019 study, his work on Pandemic and Social distance often relates to the realm of Psychological intervention, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (46.51%)
  • Outbreak (36.74%)
  • Transmission (38.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2020-2021)?

  • Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (51.16%)
  • Coronavirus disease 2019 (47.44%)
  • Virology (46.51%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Coronavirus disease 2019, Virology, Pandemic and Genomics. His studies deal with areas such as Virus, Coronavirus and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak as well as Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. His Coronavirus disease 2019 study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Genetic data.

Nuno Rodrigues Faria focuses mostly in the field of Virology, narrowing it down to matters related to Lineage and, in some cases, Phylogenetics and Phylogenetic tree. In his study, Genome and Biological dispersal is strongly linked to Evolutionary biology, which falls under the umbrella field of Pandemic. His Genomics research includes themes of Immune system and DNA sequencing.

Between 2020 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Resurgence of COVID-19 in Manaus, Brazil, despite high seroprevalence. (151 citations)
  • Three-quarters attack rate of SARS-CoV-2 in the Brazilian Amazon during a largely unmitigated epidemic. (113 citations)
  • Three-quarters attack rate of SARS-CoV-2 in the Brazilian Amazon during a largely unmitigated epidemic. (113 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Disease

Nuno Rodrigues Faria spends much of his time researching Lineage, Coronavirus disease 2019, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Pandemic and Molecular clock. Nuno Rodrigues Faria has included themes like Antibody response, Attack rate and Amazon rainforest in his Coronavirus disease 2019 study. The Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology, Epidemiology, Environmental health, Seroepidemiologic Studies and High mortality.

Nuno Rodrigues Faria conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Evolutionary biology and Transmission. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biological dispersal and Genetic data. His Molecular clock research focuses on subjects like Virology, which are linked to Immune system.
