Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Genetics
  • Gene
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Ribosomal RNA, Acanthamoeba keratitis, Genotype and Loss of heterozygosity. His research in Genetics focuses on subjects like Population genetics, which are connected to Genotype frequency and Effective population size. His Ribosomal RNA course of study focuses on Sequence analysis and Anaplasmataceae, Protozoa and Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis.

As part of one scientific family, Paul A. Fuerst deals mainly with the area of Acanthamoeba keratitis, narrowing it down to issues related to the Cornea, and often Incidence and Odds ratio. His work in Genotype addresses issues such as Microbiology, which are connected to fields such as Ehrlichia and Rickettsiales. His study looks at the relationship between Loss of heterozygosity and fields such as Genetic variation, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His most cited work include:

  • AN APPROACH TO POPULATION AND EVOLUTIONARY GENETIC THEORY FOR GENES IN MITOCHONDRIA AND CHLOROPLASTS, AND SOME RESULTS (600 citations)
  • Organelle gene diversity under migration, mutation, and drift: equilibrium expectations, approach to equilibrium, effects of heteroplasmic cells, and comparison to nuclear genes. (576 citations)
  • POPULATION BOTTLENECKS AND NONEQUILIBRIUM MODELS IN POPULATION GENETICS. II. NUMBER OF ALLELES IN A SMALL POPULATION THAT WAS FORMED BY A RECENT BOTTLENECK (467 citations)

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

Paul A. Fuerst mainly investigates Genetics, Ribosomal RNA, Acanthamoeba, Microbiology and Genotype. His study in Gene, Phylogenetics, Allele, Locus and Mutation rate is done as part of Genetics. His research in Ribosomal RNA intersects with topics in Phylogenetic tree, Ribosomal DNA, Sequence analysis and Polymerase chain reaction.

He studied Acanthamoeba and Keratitis that intersect with Cornea and Contact lens. His Microbiology research focuses on Virology and how it relates to Rickettsia rickettsii. The various areas that he examines in his Genotype study include Amoeba and Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (50.00%)
  • Ribosomal RNA (24.19%)
  • Acanthamoeba (20.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2020)?

  • Acanthamoeba (20.97%)
  • Microbiology (18.55%)
  • Genetics (50.00%)

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

His main research concerns Acanthamoeba, Microbiology, Genetics, Virology and Genotype. His Acanthamoeba study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Keratitis, Granuloma, Phylogenetics and DNA sequencing. His Microbiology research incorporates themes from Desiccation, Balamuthia mandrillaris and Polymerase chain reaction.

Paul A. Fuerst incorporates Genetics and Febrile illness in his research. As a part of the same scientific family, Paul A. Fuerst mostly works in the field of Virology, focusing on Rickettsia rickettsii and, on occasion, Amblyomma americanum. His studies in Genotype integrate themes in fields like Ribosomal RNA and Amoeba.

Between 2005 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Scrub Typhus: The Geographic Distribution of Phenotypic and Genotypic Variants of Orientia tsutsugamushi (280 citations)
  • The association of contact lens solution use and Acanthamoeba keratitis (179 citations)
  • Efficacy of contact lens systems against recent clinical and tap water Acanthamoeba isolates. (98 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Paul A. Fuerst mainly investigates Keratitis, Acanthamoeba, Virology, Acanthamoeba keratitis and Orientia tsutsugamushi. His study on Keratitis is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Microbiology. In the field of Microbiology, his study on Protozoa and Cutaneous infections overlaps with subjects such as Lobosea.

His research integrates issues of DNA database, 18S ribosomal RNA, Acanthamoebidae, Typing and DNA sequencing in his study of Acanthamoeba. His Virology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Genotype. His research in the fields of Orientia overlaps with other disciplines such as Infectious agent.
