Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virology, Trypanosoma cruzi, Polymerase chain reaction, Leishmania and Chagas disease. Octavio Fernandes combines subjects such as Hybridization probe, In vitro, Serology and Antigen with his study of Virology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Zoology, Sylvatic cycle, Ribosomal RNA and Host, Parasite diversity in addition to Trypanosoma cruzi.

His Polymerase chain reaction research includes themes of Minicircle, Typing and Molecular probe. His study in Leishmania is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetics, Leishmaniasis, Gene, Sequence analysis and Computational biology. Octavio Fernandes focuses mostly in the field of Chagas disease, narrowing it down to topics relating to Trypanosomiasis and, in certain cases, Public health, Disease, Vector and Ecology.

His most cited work include:

  • A new consensus for Trypanosoma cruzi intraspecific nomenclature: second revision meeting recommends TcI to TcVI. (722 citations)
  • DNA markers define two major phylogenetic lineages of Trypanosoma cruzi (491 citations)
  • Emerging Chagas disease in Amazonian Brazil. (255 citations)

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

Octavio Fernandes focuses on Genetics, Polymerase chain reaction, Trypanosoma cruzi, Virology and Leishmania. His research investigates the connection between Genetics and topics such as Molecular biology that intersect with problems in Proteome. His study on Polymerase chain reaction also encompasses disciplines like

  • Immunology and related Dermatology,
  • Minicircle that connect with fields like Molecular probe.

His work carried out in the field of Trypanosoma cruzi brings together such families of science as Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Ribosomal RNA and Chagas disease. His studies examine the connections between Chagas disease and genetics, as well as such issues in Amazon rainforest, with regards to Cross-sectional study. His Leishmania study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Leishmaniasis and Kinetoplastida.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (39.86%)
  • Polymerase chain reaction (34.06%)
  • Trypanosoma cruzi (33.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2018)?

  • Genotype (8.70%)
  • Microbiology (10.14%)
  • Polymerase chain reaction (34.06%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genotype, Microbiology, Polymerase chain reaction, Gene and Genetic diversity. His research investigates the link between Genotype and topics such as Zoology that cross with problems in Transmission, Giardia duodenalis and Zoonosis. The various areas that Octavio Fernandes examines in his Polymerase chain reaction study include Outbreak, Virology, Echinococcus granulosus, Dirofilaria immitis and Wolbachia.

His Gene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Severe disease, Immunology and Giardia lamblia. Octavio Fernandes has researched Genetic diversity in several fields, including Genetics, Malaria, Case-control study, Allele and Sequence analysis. Octavio Fernandes merges many fields, such as Genetics and TLR4, in his writings.

Between 2009 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Identification of Giardia lamblia Assemblage E in Humans Points to a New Anthropozoonotic Cycle. (64 citations)
  • Molecular characterization of Echinococcus granulosus from Peru by sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit 1 gene (38 citations)
  • Detection of Wolbachia DNA in blood from dogs infected with Dirofilaria immitis. (19 citations)
