Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Ecology
  • Malaria

Penelope Vounatsou focuses on Malaria, Immunology, Environmental health, Neglected tropical diseases and Veterinary medicine. Penelope Vounatsou is studying Plasmodium falciparum, which is a component of Malaria. Her biological study deals with issues like Internal medicine, which deal with fields such as Gastroenterology, Praziquantel, Reliability and Target population.

Penelope Vounatsou has researched Environmental health in several fields, including Trichuris trichiura, Ascaris lumbricoides and Helminthiasis. Her research investigates the link between Neglected tropical diseases and topics such as Meta-analysis that cross with problems in Odds ratio, Strongyloides stercoralis, Disease, Case-control study and Deworming. Her Veterinary medicine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Livestock, Animal science and Vaccination.

Her most cited work include:

  • Strongyloides stercoralis: Global Distribution and Risk Factors. (370 citations)
  • Strongyloides stercoralis: Global Distribution and Risk Factors. (370 citations)
  • Proper multivariate conditional autoregressive models for spatial data analysis. (347 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Environmental health, Malaria, Ecology, Public health and Veterinary medicine. Penelope Vounatsou combines subjects such as Psychological intervention, Credible interval, Trichuris trichiura, Ascaris lumbricoides and Socioeconomic status with her study of Environmental health. Her Malaria study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Immunology.

Her Immunology research incorporates themes from Cross-sectional study and Internal medicine. Her Ecology study which covers Schistosoma mansoni that intersects with Schistosoma haematobium. Her work deals with themes such as Epidemiology and Health facility, which intersect with Public health.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental health (57.32%)
  • Malaria (51.83%)
  • Ecology (21.65%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Environmental health (57.32%)
  • Malaria (51.83%)
  • Public health (25.00%)

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

Penelope Vounatsou mainly investigates Environmental health, Malaria, Public health, Psychological intervention and Tropical medicine. Her studies deal with areas such as Credible interval, Mortality rate, Hazard ratio, Prevalence and Strongyloides stercoralis as well as Environmental health. Penelope Vounatsou is involved in the study of Malaria that focuses on Indoor residual spraying in particular.

Her Public health study combines topics in areas such as Schistosomiasis, Disease cluster, Logistic regression and Socioeconomic status. As part of one scientific family, Penelope Vounatsou deals mainly with the area of Disease cluster, narrowing it down to issues related to the Survey data collection, and often Ecology. Her study looks at the relationship between Helminths and fields such as Veterinary medicine, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Estimating sensitivity of the Kato-Katz technique for the diagnosis of Schistosoma mansoni and hookworm in relation to infection intensity. (33 citations)
  • Estimating sensitivity of the Kato-Katz technique for the diagnosis of Schistosoma mansoni and hookworm in relation to infection intensity. (33 citations)
  • Prevalence of diarrhoea and risk factors among children under five years old in Mbour, Senegal: a cross-sectional study (33 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Ecology
  • Malaria

Penelope Vounatsou mainly focuses on Environmental health, Malaria, Veterinary medicine, Schistosomiasis and Schistosoma mansoni. Her research in Environmental health intersects with topics in Cross-sectional study, Socioeconomic status, Public health and Environmental protection. Penelope Vounatsou has included themes like Psychological intervention, Altitude, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Random effects model in her Malaria study.

Her Veterinary medicine research includes themes of Helminths, Epidemiology and Soil-transmitted helminth. Her Schistosomiasis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Antigen, Urine, Internal medicine, Rapid diagnostic test and Point of care. Her Schistosoma mansoni study is associated with Immunology.
