Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virology, Rotavirus, Norovirus, Genotype and Sapovirus. The concepts of her Virology study are interwoven with issues in Feces, Microbiology, Molecular epidemiology and Diarrhea. Her studies in Feces integrate themes in fields like Acute gastroenteritis and Kobuvirus.

A large part of her Rotavirus studies is devoted to Reoviridae. Her research integrates issues of Group A, Sequence analysis and Phylogenetic tree in her study of Genotype. Her Sapovirus study which covers Astrovirus that intersects with Enterovirus, Human parechovirus and Aichi virus.

Her most cited work include:

  • Detection of norovirus (GI, GII), Sapovirus and astrovirus in fecal samples using reverse transcription single-round multiplex PCR (227 citations)
  • Genetic diversity of norovirus and sapovirus in hospitalized infants with sporadic cases of acute gastroenteritis in Chiang Mai, Thailand (142 citations)
  • Genetic heterogeneity, evolution, and recombination in noroviruses (117 citations)

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

Shoko Okitsu spends much of her time researching Virology, Genotype, Rotavirus, Feces and Norovirus. Shoko Okitsu has researched Virology in several fields, including Molecular epidemiology and Diarrhea. Shoko Okitsu has included themes like Genetic diversity and Phylogenetic tree in her Genotype study.

Her Rotavirus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Enterovirus, Group A, Gene and Microbiology. Her Feces study also includes fields such as

  • Epidemiology and related Vomiting,
  • Veterinary medicine, which have a strong connection to Norovirus GII. Her study on Caliciviridae Infections and Caliciviridae is often connected to Rapid detection as part of broader study in Norovirus.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (103.67%)
  • Genotype (56.88%)
  • Rotavirus (50.92%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Virology (103.67%)
  • Rotavirus (50.92%)
  • Genotype (56.88%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Virology, Rotavirus, Genotype, Diarrhea and Norovirus. Her study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Feces and Genetic diversity. She studied Feces and Molecular epidemiology that intersect with Epitope.

Her work carried out in the field of Rotavirus brings together such families of science as Epidemiology, Group A and Gene. Her research in Genotype intersects with topics in Outbreak and NSP1. As part of the same scientific family, Shoko Okitsu usually focuses on Norovirus, concentrating on Outpatient clinic and intersecting with Latex fixation test and Horizontal transmission.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Emergence of norovirus GII.2 and its novel recombination during the gastroenteritis outbreak in Japanese children in mid-2016. (30 citations)
  • Detection of nineteen enteric viruses in raw sewage in Japan. (23 citations)
  • Role of rotavirus vaccination on an emerging G8P[8] rotavirus strain causing an outbreak in central Japan (20 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • DNA

Shoko Okitsu mainly investigates Virology, Diarrhea, Genotype, Rotavirus and Feces. Her study in Microbiology extends to Virology with its themes. Her work deals with themes such as Macrolide resistance and Fluoroquinolone resistance, which intersect with Diarrhea.

Her Genotype research integrates issues from Phylogenetics, Outbreak and NSP1. The Rotavirus study combines topics in areas such as Nucleic acid sequence and Genome, Whole genome sequencing. Her work is dedicated to discovering how Feces, Acute gastroenteritis are connected with Clade, Human astrovirus, Genetic variability and Phylogenetic tree and other disciplines.
