Richard Speare

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Internal medicine
• Ecology
• Disease

Richard Speare mainly focuses on Chytridiomycosis, Ecology, Amphibian, Chytridiomycota and Microbiology. He studies Chytridiomycosis, focusing on Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in particular. Richard Speare interconnects Disease and Extinction in the investigation of issues within Ecology.

His Amphibian research incorporates elements of Zoology, Notifiable disease and Anatomy. His Microbiology research incorporates themes from Infectivity, Poikilotherm, Quarantine and Chlamydiaceae. His work carried out in the field of Atelopus brings together such families of science as Pseudophryne and Litoria.

His most cited work include:

• Chytridiomycosis causes amphibian mortality associated with population declines in the rain forests of Australia and Central America (1527 citations)
• Spread of Chytridiomycosis Has Caused the Rapid Global Decline and Extinction of Frogs (894 citations)
• Emerging infectious diseases and amphibian population declines. (776 citations)

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

Chytridiomycosis, Ecology, Amphibian, Veterinary medicine and Public health are his primary areas of study. In his research, Strongyloidiasis is intimately related to Disease, which falls under the overarching field of Chytridiomycosis. Threatened species and Litoria are the core of his Ecology study.

His studies in Amphibian integrate themes in fields like Zoology, Anatomy and Microbiology. His work focuses on many connections between Veterinary medicine and other disciplines, such as Pediculosis, that overlap with his field of interest in Toxicology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Epidemiology, Family medicine and Environmental health.

He most often published in these fields:

• Chytridiomycosis (20.06%)
• Ecology (18.15%)
• Amphibian (14.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

• Family medicine (10.19%)
• Public health (12.42%)
• Strongyloidiasis (6.05%)

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

Richard Speare focuses on Family medicine, Public health, Strongyloidiasis, Veterinary medicine and Amphibian. The study incorporates disciplines such as Capacity building, Gerontology and Environmental health in addition to Public health. His work carried out in the field of Strongyloidiasis brings together such families of science as Ivermectin, Scabies, Socioeconomics, Pediatrics and Strongyloides stercoralis.

His Veterinary medicine study incorporates themes from Willingness to communicate, Multiple choice, Clinical staff, Response rate and Emerging infectious disease. His studies in Amphibian integrate themes in fields like Anesthesia, Anesthetic and Litoria ewingii. His Chytridiomycosis study is concerned with Ecology in general.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Impact of an Ivermectin Mass Drug Administration on Scabies Prevalence in a Remote Australian Aboriginal Community. (59 citations)
• StrongNet: An International Network to Improve Diagnostics and Access to Treatment for Strongyloidiasis Control (51 citations)
• Steps on a journey to TB control in Solomon Islands: a cross-sectional, mixed methods pre-post evaluation of a local language DVD (48 citations)

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

• Internal medicine
• Disease
• Ecology

Richard Speare mostly deals with Public health, Strongyloidiasis, Chytridiomycosis, Socioeconomics and Strongyloides stercoralis. His Public health research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Veterinary medicine, Action research and Environmental health. His Strongyloidiasis study which covers Pediatrics that intersects with Surgery, Ivermectin and Neglected tropical diseases.

Research on Amphibian and Ecology is a part of his Chytridiomycosis study. His Socioeconomics research incorporates elements of Ebola virus, Outbreak and Index case. His Strongyloides stercoralis research integrates issues from Socioeconomic status, Health care, CINAHL and Pathology.
