Overview

Sergio Stagno is affiliated with the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the United States. Their research spans several areas within medicine, with a notable focus on neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, perinatology, infectious diseases, and veterinary sciences related to small animals.

The scientist's publication record includes contributions to both human and veterinary medical fields. Stagno has authored papers in journals such as JAMA and Veterinary World. Among the recent publications are the following:

  • Can SARS-CoV-2 Infection Be Acquired In Utero? (2020, JAMA)
  • Frequency of superoxide dismutase 1 c.118: G˃A mutation associated with canine degenerative myelopathy in German Shepherd dogs from Uruguay and Paraguay (2024, Veterinary World)

These publications reflect two broad research themes: infectious diseases with a focus on viral infections and outbreaks, and neurological diseases both in humans and animals, with specific attention to degenerative conditions.

Stagno collaborates frequently with several researchers, including David W. Kimberlin, Rody Artigas, C Menchaca, L Castro, and Alejandra Mondino. These partnerships indicate interdisciplinary links across pediatric infectious diseases and veterinary neurology.

The scientist's research touches on multiple interconnected topics, including:

  • COVID-19 Impact on Reproduction
  • Global Maternal and Child Health
  • Viral Infections and Outbreaks Research
  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Research
  • Neurological diseases and metabolism
  • Veterinary Orthopedics and Neurology

An emphasis on neurology is apparent, particularly related to degenerative and metabolic neurological diseases. This is combined with research addressing the implications of infectious diseases on maternal and child health, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach crossing human medicine and veterinary studies.

Stagno's contributions span the main field of Medicine and its subfields, addressing complex health issues in both human and animal contexts. The diversity of research topics, collaborative efforts, and publication venues underline a career engaged with both clinical and veterinary medical science.
