Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Disease
  • Internal medicine

Pierre Formenty spends much of his time researching Outbreak, Virology, Ebola virus, Ebolavirus and Virus. Pierre Formenty focuses mostly in the field of Outbreak, narrowing it down to topics relating to Case fatality rate and, in certain cases, Hemorrhagic Fevers, Virus antigen and Public health. His study in the fields of Marburg virus disease, Marburgvirus and Marburg virus under the domain of Virology overlaps with other disciplines such as Mononegavirales and Monkeypox.

His work on Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever as part of general Ebola virus research is often related to Sierra leone, thus linking different fields of science. His Ebolavirus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Transmission, Host adaptation and Nanopore sequencing. The concepts of his Transmission study are interwoven with issues in Ecology and Disease.

His most cited work include:

  • Ebola Virus Disease in West Africa — The First 9 Months of the Epidemic and Forward Projections (1184 citations)
  • Real-time, portable genome sequencing for Ebola surveillance (796 citations)
  • Multiple Ebola Virus Transmission Events and Rapid Decline of Central African Wildlife (521 citations)

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

His main research concerns Virology, Outbreak, Ebola virus, Virus and Transmission. His Virology research incorporates elements of Taxonomy and Immunology. His study explores the link between Outbreak and topics such as Veterinary medicine that cross with problems in Rift Valley fever.

His work on Ebolavirus and Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever as part of general Ebola virus study is frequently linked to Sierra leone and Filoviridae, bridging the gap between disciplines. The Simian research Pierre Formenty does as part of his general Virus study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Monkeypox virus, Transmission and Monkeypox, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Disease research includes elements of Semen and Incidence.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (53.68%)
  • Outbreak (47.79%)
  • Ebola virus (44.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ebola virus (44.12%)
  • Virology (53.68%)
  • Outbreak (47.79%)

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

Pierre Formenty mainly focuses on Ebola virus, Virology, Outbreak, Disease and Order Mononegavirales. His work in the fields of Ebola virus, such as Bundibugyo virus, intersects with other areas such as Persistence. He works on Virology which deals in particular with Ebolavirus.

His study in the field of Marburgvirus is also linked to topics like Filoviridae. His Outbreak research incorporates themes from Transmission, Pediatrics and Genomic rna. His Disease study incorporates themes from Interquartile range, Epidemiology and Public health.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Metagenomic sequencing at the epicenter of the Nigeria 2018 Lassa fever outbreak. (106 citations)
  • Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales : update 2018 (103 citations)
  • Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales: update 2019. (87 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Disease
  • Internal medicine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Order Mononegavirales, Taxonomy, Evolutionary biology and Taxon. He integrates Virology with Mononegavirales in his research. His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Transmission, Lassa fever and Nanopore sequencing.

His study in Taxon is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Species complex, Bunyavirales, Phylum, Genus and Viral genetics.
