Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Internal medicine

Leptospira, Leptospirosis, Leptospira interrogans, Leptospira kirschneri and Polymerase chain reaction are his primary areas of study. His research on Leptospira focuses in particular on Leptospiraceae. Leptospirosis is a subfield of Veterinary medicine that Rudy A. Hartskeerl investigates.

Rudy A. Hartskeerl has included themes like Bacterial adhesin, Genome, Sequence analysis and Comparative genomics in his Leptospira interrogans study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Genetics and Multilocus sequence typing in addition to Leptospira kirschneri. His Polymerase chain reaction study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology, Sputum, Tuberculosis diagnosis and Virology.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparative Genomics of Two Leptospira interrogans Serovars Reveals Novel Insights into Physiology and Pathogenesis (356 citations)
  • Emergence, control and re-emerging leptospirosis: dynamics of infection in the changing world (290 citations)
  • Detection of seven species of pathogenic leptospires by PCR using two sets of primers (273 citations)

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

Rudy A. Hartskeerl mainly focuses on Leptospirosis, Leptospira, Microbiology, Virology and Serotype. The various areas that Rudy A. Hartskeerl examines in his Leptospirosis study include Incidence, Serology, Epidemiology and Immunology. His Leptospira research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetics, Typing and Direct agglutination test.

His research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Bacteria, Lipopolysaccharide, Kidney and Virulence. His research integrates issues of Nucleic acid amplification technique and Polymerase chain reaction in his study of Virology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Leptospira interrogans, Bacterial adhesin is strongly linked to Genome.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Leptospirosis (55.37%)
  • Leptospira (55.37%)
  • Microbiology (27.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2019)?

  • Leptospirosis (55.37%)
  • Leptospira (55.37%)
  • Veterinary medicine (16.53%)

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

Rudy A. Hartskeerl spends much of his time researching Leptospirosis, Leptospira, Veterinary medicine, Serotype and Immunology. His Leptospirosis study incorporates themes from Epidemiology, Incidence, Environmental health, Outbreak and Serology. His Leptospira research is under the purview of Microbiology.

His studies in Veterinary medicine integrate themes in fields like Transmission, Livestock and Disease burden. His study in Serotype is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genetic variation. Many of his research projects under Immunology are closely connected to Von Willebrand factor and E-selectin with Von Willebrand factor and E-selectin, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Between 2014 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • What Makes a Bacterial Species Pathogenic?:Comparative Genomic Analysis of the Genus Leptospira. (142 citations)
  • Environmental and Behavioural Determinants of Leptospirosis Transmission: A Systematic Review. (119 citations)
  • Assessment of animal hosts of pathogenic Leptospira in northern Tanzania (43 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Internal medicine

Rudy A. Hartskeerl mainly investigates Leptospira, Leptospirosis, Veterinary medicine, Epidemiology and Leptospira interrogans. As a member of one scientific family, Rudy A. Hartskeerl mostly works in the field of Leptospira, focusing on Disease reservoir and, on occasion, Bacterial disease, Genotype and Livestock. In his work, Rudy A. Hartskeerl performs multidisciplinary research in Leptospirosis and Rural community.

His Veterinary medicine research integrates issues from Odds ratio, Recreation and MEDLINE. His work deals with themes such as Symptom onset and Zoonosis, which intersect with Epidemiology. His Leptospira interrogans research includes themes of Host adaptation, Genome, Vector, CRISPR and Genotyping.
