Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Malaria
  • Disease

His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Malaria, Surgery, Artesunate and Amodiaquine. His work investigates the relationship between Internal medicine and topics such as Placebo that intersect with problems in Tolerability. His study in Malaria is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Antigen and Environmental health.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Visceral leishmaniasis, Leishmaniasis, Efficacy and Clinical trial. His Artesunate study combines topics in areas such as Artemether, Artemisinin and Pharmacology. His studies deal with areas such as Sulfadoxine and Mefloquine as well as Amodiaquine.

His most cited work include:

  • Averting a malaria disaster. (513 citations)
  • Artesunate combinations for treatment of malaria: meta-analysis (472 citations)
  • Evaluation of diagnostic tests for infectious diseases: general principles (337 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Malaria, Internal medicine, Artesunate, Pharmacology and Artemisinin. The Malaria study combines topics in areas such as Intensive care medicine and Environmental health. Piero Olliaro interconnects Gastroenterology, Leishmaniasis and Surgery in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Artemether, Amodiaquine, Severe Malaria, Mefloquine and Sulfadoxine in addition to Artesunate. Piero Olliaro has researched Pharmacology in several fields, including Dihydroartemisinin and Drug resistance. The concepts of his Artemisinin study are interwoven with issues in Quinine, Biotechnology and Combination therapy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Malaria (43.05%)
  • Internal medicine (32.78%)
  • Artesunate (28.81%)

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

  • Global health (10.26%)
  • Internal medicine (32.78%)
  • Environmental health (11.26%)

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

Piero Olliaro mainly focuses on Global health, Internal medicine, Environmental health, MEDLINE and Malaria. His Global health study also includes fields such as

  • Health services research which connect with Health policy,
  • Immunology which intersects with area such as Fibrinogen. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Visceral leishmaniasis, Leishmaniasis and Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol, Rifampicin.

His Visceral leishmaniasis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Asymptomatic and Public health. His work deals with themes such as Odds ratio, Hymenolepis nana, Mebendazole, Intestinal parasite and Anemia, which intersect with Malaria. His Mass drug administration research includes themes of Trichuris trichiura and Surgery.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Transmission Dynamics of Visceral Leishmaniasis in the Indian Subcontinent - A Systematic Literature Review. (49 citations)
  • Efficacy and safety of co-administered ivermectin plus albendazole for treating soil-transmitted helminths: A systematic review, meta-analysis and individual patient data analysis. (29 citations)
  • Implications of Plasmodium vivax Biology for Control, Elimination, and Research (26 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Malaria
  • Disease

His main research concerns Global health, Psychological intervention, Outbreak, Immunology and Clinical trial. His Psychological intervention study also includes

  • Public health, which have a strong connection to Incidence and Rapid diagnostic test,
  • Leishmaniasis which intersects with area such as Surgery, Transmission, Natural history and Asymptomatic. His Outbreak research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Disease surveillance and Intensive care medicine.

His research integrates issues of Mass drug administration, Efficacy and Monitoring and evaluation in his study of Immunology. His work carried out in the field of Clinical trial brings together such families of science as Clinical research, Medical physics, Informed consent and Cutaneous leishmaniasis. Visceral leishmaniasis is closely attributed to Internal medicine in his research.
