Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Zoology

Veterinary medicine, Taenia solium, Zoology, Environmental health and Neurocysticercosis are her primary areas of study. Her study explores the link between Veterinary medicine and topics such as Larva that cross with problems in Anthelmintic and Nematode. Her research integrates issues of Productivity and Livestock in her study of Taenia solium.

Her Productivity study combines topics in areas such as Tropical medicine and Agriculture. Rosina C. Krecek interconnects Socioeconomic status, Food security and Public health in the investigation of issues within Environmental health. Her Neurocysticercosis research includes themes of Cysticercosis, Epidemiology and Rural area.

Her most cited work include:

  • The emergence of Taenia solium cysticercosis in Eastern and Southern Africa as a serious agricultural problem and public health risk. (187 citations)
  • Testing for clinical anaemia caused by Haemonchus spp. in goats farmed under resource-poor conditions in South Africa using an eye colour chart developed for sheep. (143 citations)
  • An annotated checklist by genus and species of 93 species level names for 51 recognized species of small strongyles (Nematoda: Strongyloidea: Cyathostominea) of horses, asses and zebras of the world (107 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Veterinary medicine, Helminths, Ecology, Zoology and Taenia solium. Her work carried out in the field of Veterinary medicine brings together such families of science as Haemonchus contortus, Larva and Seroprevalence. Many of her research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Anopheles albimanus with Anopheles albimanus, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Her Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chikungunya, Vector and Culex quinquefasciatus. Within one scientific family, Rosina C. Krecek focuses on topics pertaining to Productivity under Taenia solium, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Environmental health. Her Cysticercosis research integrates issues from Tropical medicine, Neurocysticercosis and Public health.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Veterinary medicine (52.56%)
  • Helminths (20.51%)
  • Ecology (26.92%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Seroprevalence (15.38%)
  • Veterinary medicine (52.56%)
  • One Health (7.05%)

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

Rosina C. Krecek mainly focuses on Seroprevalence, Veterinary medicine, One Health, Virology and Antibody. Her Seroprevalence research incorporates themes from Pathogen, Epidemiology and Dengue virus, Dengue fever. The Veterinary medicine study which covers Medical education that intersects with Curriculum, Veterinary parasitology and CLARITY.

She combines subjects such as Disease and Environmental health with her study of One Health. Her Environmental health research incorporates elements of Livestock and Food security. Her work on Toxoplasma gondii and Direct agglutination test as part of general Antibody study is frequently connected to Genotyping, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Brucellosis remains a neglected disease in the developing world: a call for interdisciplinary action (89 citations)
  • Brucellosis remains a neglected disease in the developing world: a call for interdisciplinary action (89 citations)
  • Toxoplasmosis in the Caribbean islands: literature review, seroprevalence in pregnant women in ten countries, isolation of viable Toxoplasma gondii from dogs from St. Kitts, West Indies with report of new T. gondii genetic types. (19 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Zoology

Her primary areas of investigation include Seroprevalence, Virology, Direct agglutination test, Antibody and Genotyping. Her Seroprevalence research includes elements of Coxiella burnetii and Dengue fever. Her works in Q fever and Dengue virus are all subjects of inquiry into Virology.

Her Direct agglutination test study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Veterinary medicine, Toxoplasmosis, Toxoplasma gondii and Caribbean island.
