Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Her primary areas of study are Treponema, Syphilis, Virology, Immunology and Sexually transmitted disease. Her Treponema research includes themes of Genetics, Peptide sequence, Gene, Antibody and Virulence. Her Syphilis research includes elements of Transmission, Treponematosis and Disease.

Her Virology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Treponemal Infection, Polymerase chain reaction, Antigen and Microbiology. The various areas that Sheila A. Lukehart examines in her Immunology study include Internal medicine, Cerebrospinal fluid and Pathology. The concepts of her Internal medicine study are interwoven with issues in Neurosyphilis and Azithromycin.

Her most cited work include:

  • Invasion of the Central Nervous System by Treponema pallidum: Implications for Diagnosis and Treatment (416 citations)
  • Genital ulceration as a risk factor for human immunodeficiency virus infection (345 citations)
  • Cerebrospinal Fluid Abnormalities in Patients with Syphilis: Association with Clinical and Laboratory Features (322 citations)

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

Sheila A. Lukehart spends much of her time researching Treponema, Syphilis, Virology, Microbiology and Immunology. Her Treponema research incorporates elements of Genetics, Immune system, Antigen, Gene and Antibody. Her research integrates issues of Internal medicine, Serology and Sexually transmitted disease in her study of Syphilis.

The Virology study combines topics in areas such as Treponemal Infection, Peptide sequence, Primary Syphilis and Polymerase chain reaction. Her Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Treponema denticola, Antiserum, Monoclonal antibody and Bacteria. The various areas that she examines in her Immunology study include Treponematosis and Disease.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Treponema (69.23%)
  • Syphilis (53.85%)
  • Virology (37.91%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Treponema (69.23%)
  • Syphilis (53.85%)
  • Serology (10.99%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Treponema, Syphilis, Serology, Genome and Genetics. In her papers, Sheila A. Lukehart integrates diverse fields, such as Treponema and Haemophilus ducreyi. Her research in Syphilis intersects with topics in Transmission, Immunology, Infectious disease and Intensive care medicine.

Her biological study deals with issues like Internal medicine, which deal with fields such as Rapid plasma reagin and Gastroenterology. Sheila A. Lukehart has included themes like Evolutionary biology, Virology, Treponematosis and Phylogenetic tree in her Genome study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Treponema pallidum subsp. endemicum and Epidemiology of syphilis.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Re-emergence of yaws after single mass azithromycin treatment followed by targeted treatment: a longitudinal study. (46 citations)
  • The wide utility of rabbits as models of human diseases (44 citations)
  • Genomic epidemiology of syphilis reveals independent emergence of macrolide resistance across multiple circulating lineages. (25 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

Sheila A. Lukehart spends much of her time researching Treponema, Syphilis, Serology, Genetics and Polymerase chain reaction. In her research on the topic of Treponema, Virology is strongly related with Sequence analysis. Her Syphilis research integrates issues from Coinfection, CXCL10, Cerebrospinal fluid and Immunology.

Her Serology research incorporates themes from Longitudinal study, Public health service and Pediatrics. Her Polymerase chain reaction research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Medical microbiology, Microbiology and Asymptomatic. Her studies in DNA extraction integrate themes in fields like Parasitology and Haemophilus.
