Echinococcus granulosus
Cestoda
Echinococcus multilocularis

His Telecommunications study which covers Transmission (telecommunications) that intersects with Electrical engineering. The study of Electrical engineering is intertwined with the study of Transmission (telecommunications) in a number of ways. He is researching Disease as part of the investigation of Parasitic disease and Zoonotic disease. Paul R. Torgerson undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Parasitic disease and Disease through his research. He performs multidisciplinary study in Zoology and Animal science in his work. He integrates Animal science with Zoology in his study. Echinococcosis and Alveolar echinococcosis are frequently intertwined in his study. His study on Alveolar echinococcosis is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Echinococcosis. His Echinococcus granulosus study often links to related topics such as Cystic echinococcosis.

His most cited work include:
