1996 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Genome

Robert B. Tesh spends much of his time researching Virology, Virus, Flavivirus, Phylogenetics and Immunology. The study of Virology is intertwined with the study of Genotype in a number of ways. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gene duplication, Genetic variation and Phylogenetic tree in addition to Genotype.

The Virus study combines topics in areas such as Insect, Serotype and Lineage. He combines subjects such as Flaviviridae, Molecular epidemiology, Antibody and Japanese encephalitis with his study of Flavivirus. His work deals with themes such as Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Viral replication and Alphavirus, which intersect with Phylogenetics.

His most cited work include:

  • Zika virus in the Americas: Early epidemiological and genetic findings (709 citations)
  • Genetic Characterization of Zika Virus Strains: Geographic Expansion of the Asian Lineage (514 citations)
  • Re-emergence of Chikungunya and O'nyong-nyong viruses: evidence for distinct geographical lineages and distant evolutionary relationships. (468 citations)

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

Robert B. Tesh mainly investigates Virology, Virus, Phylogenetics, Genetics and Genome. His Virology study incorporates themes from Genotype and Phylogenetic tree. He has researched Virus in several fields, including Serotype and Antibody.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Phylogenetics, Taxonomy is strongly linked to Evolutionary biology. Many of his research projects under Genetics are closely connected to ORFS with ORFS, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. In general Genome study, his work on Genomic organization and Virus classification often relates to the realm of Orbivirus, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (79.20%)
  • Virus (49.27%)
  • Phylogenetics (22.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Virology (79.20%)
  • Virus (49.27%)
  • Genome (19.34%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Virus, Genome, Phylogenetics and Zika virus. Flavivirus, Dengue fever, Aedes, Phlebovirus and Bunyaviridae are the core of his Virology study. His Virus research includes elements of Culex and Disease.

His Genome research incorporates themes from Flaviviridae, Clade and Sequence analysis. His Phylogenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Taxonomy and Phylogenetic tree. His studies deal with areas such as Transmission, Miscarriage, Dengue virus and Microcephaly as well as Zika virus.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Zika virus in the Americas: Early epidemiological and genetic findings (709 citations)
  • Consensus statement: Virus taxonomy in the age of metagenomics (325 citations)
  • Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales: update 2016 (307 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Genome

His primary areas of study are Virology, Zika virus, Taxonomy, Evolutionary biology and Order Mononegavirales. His Virology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Culex and Molecular epidemiology. His Zika virus research incorporates elements of Transmission, Flavivirus, Microcephaly, Aedes and Aedes aegypti.

Robert B. Tesh has included themes like Flaviviridae, Phylogenetics and Genome, Human virome in his Evolutionary biology study. His research integrates issues of Taxon, Virus, Clade and RNA in his study of Genome. His work in Order Mononegavirales addresses issues such as Mononegavirales, which are connected to fields such as Genus.
