Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Malaria
  • Disease

Pedro L. Alonso spends much of his time researching Malaria, Pediatrics, Plasmodium falciparum, Pregnancy and Incidence. His studies in Malaria integrate themes in fields like Randomized controlled trial and Vaccine efficacy. The various areas that Pedro L. Alonso examines in his Pediatrics study include Chemoprophylaxis, Surgery, Placebo and Epidemiology.

His Plasmodium falciparum research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Internal medicine, Chloroquine, Public health and Virology. His study looks at the intersection of Pregnancy and topics like Obstetrics with Gestation, Gestational age and Birth weight. His study in Incidence is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Disease burden, Adverse effect, Diarrhea and Bacteremia.

His most cited work include:

  • Burden and aetiology of diarrhoeal disease in infants and young children in developing countries (the Global Enteric Multicenter Study, GEMS): a prospective, case-control study. (1947 citations)
  • Efficacy of the RTS,S/AS02A vaccine against Plasmodium falciparum infection and disease in young African children: randomised controlled trial (673 citations)
  • A phase 3 trial of RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine in African infants. (550 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Malaria, Immunology, Plasmodium falciparum, Pediatrics and Internal medicine. His studies deal with areas such as Pregnancy, Public health and Environmental health as well as Malaria. Pedro L. Alonso combines subjects such as Odds ratio and Disease with his study of Immunology.

His Plasmodium falciparum research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Antibody, Parasitology, Clinical trial and Virology. In his study, Diarrhea and Etiology is inextricably linked to Epidemiology, which falls within the broad field of Pediatrics. The concepts of his Malaria vaccine study are interwoven with issues in Vaccine efficacy and Vaccination.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Malaria (72.75%)
  • Immunology (37.68%)
  • Plasmodium falciparum (38.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Malaria (72.75%)
  • Plasmodium falciparum (38.15%)
  • Internal medicine (18.96%)

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

His main research concerns Malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, Internal medicine, Diarrhea and Immunology. He works in the field of Malaria, namely Malaria elimination. Pedro L. Alonso has researched Plasmodium falciparum in several fields, including Tropical medicine, Antibody and Virology.

His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Dysentery and Shigella. His Diarrhea study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Epidemiology, Cryptosporidium, Case-control study, Genotype and Coinfection. The study incorporates disciplines such as Pregnancy, Logistic regression and Disease in addition to Immunology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Use of quantitative molecular diagnostic methods to identify causes of diarrhoea in children: a reanalysis of the GEMS case-control study (368 citations)
  • The Burden of Cryptosporidium Diarrheal Disease among Children < 24 Months of Age in Moderate/High Mortality Regions of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, Utilizing Data from the Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS) (120 citations)
  • Validity of a Minimally Invasive Autopsy for Cause of Death Determination in Adults in Mozambique: An Observational Study. (70 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Malaria

Pedro L. Alonso focuses on Malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, Epidemiology, Diarrhea and Immunology. Pedro L. Alonso interconnects Psychological intervention and Public health in the investigation of issues within Malaria. His work carried out in the field of Plasmodium falciparum brings together such families of science as Virology, Cell-Derived Microparticles, Tropical medicine, Gene and Antibody.

His work deals with themes such as Prospective cohort study, Pediatrics and Lethargy, which intersect with Epidemiology. His Diarrhea research incorporates elements of Coinfection, Incidence and Case-control study. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Immunology, Malaria vaccine, Immunoglobulin M, Immunoglobulin G and Antigen is strongly linked to Disease.
