2007 - Distinguished International Fellow of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Disease

His main research concerns Virology, Outbreak, Marburg virus disease, Virus and Ebola virus. His Virology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Antibody and Serology. His research in Outbreak focuses on subjects like Case fatality rate, which are connected to Hemorrhagic Fevers, Virus antigen and Pediatrics.

As part of the same scientific family, Robert Swanepoel usually focuses on Marburg virus disease, concentrating on Marburgvirus and intersecting with Lloviu virus. His work in the fields of Virus, such as Ebolavirus, Encephalitis and Kunjin virus, overlaps with other areas such as Culex. His biological study focuses on Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever.

His most cited work include:

  • Fruit bats as reservoirs of Ebola virus (1090 citations)
  • Multiple Ebola Virus Transmission Events and Rapid Decline of Central African Wildlife (521 citations)
  • Isolation of Genetically Diverse Marburg Viruses from Egyptian Fruit Bats (411 citations)

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

Robert Swanepoel mainly focuses on Virology, Virus, Outbreak, Rift Valley fever and Ebola virus. The concepts of his Virology study are interwoven with issues in Antibody, Antigen and Phylogenetic tree. His Virus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Molecular epidemiology and Genome.

His work in the fields of Marburg virus disease overlaps with other areas such as Contact tracing. His research investigates the link between Marburg virus disease and topics such as Disease reservoir that cross with problems in Marburg virus. His study in the field of Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever is also linked to topics like Filoviridae and Mononegavirales.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (78.64%)
  • Virus (40.78%)
  • Outbreak (28.16%)

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

  • Virology (78.64%)
  • Virus (40.78%)
  • Outbreak (28.16%)

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

His primary areas of study are Virology, Virus, Outbreak, Rift Valley fever and Ecology. In general Virology, his work in Ebola virus and Bunyamwera virus is often linked to Reassortment linking many areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Virus classification and Nomenclature in addition to Ebola virus.

His Virus research integrates issues from Zoology, Tick, Protein domain, RNA polymerase and Transmembrane domain. In his study, Seroconversion, Veterinary medicine, Herd immunity and Irrigation is inextricably linked to Livestock, which falls within the broad field of Outbreak. Robert Swanepoel has included themes like Indigenous, Phlebovirus, Disease reservoir and Arbovirus Infections in his Rift Valley fever study.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Mosquito-borne arboviruses of African origin: review of key viruses and vectors (88 citations)
  • Nomenclature- and Database-Compatible Names for the Two Ebola Virus Variants that Emerged in Guinea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2014 (74 citations)
  • Filovirus RefSeq entries: evaluation and selection of filovirus type variants, type sequences, and names. (43 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Disease

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Ebola virus, Outbreak, Nomenclature and Ebolavirus. His Virology research incorporates elements of Neurologic disease and Old World. The concepts of his Ebola virus study are interwoven with issues in Virus classification, Computational biology, Seroprevalence and RefSeq.

His Outbreak research includes elements of Infectious disease, Wildlife, Phlebovirus, Disease ecology and Sex factors. His Nomenclature study combines topics in areas such as Disease and Disease classification. His studies in Ebolavirus integrate themes in fields like Transmission and Immunoglobulin G.
