Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Virus

His main research concerns Environmental health, Epidemiology, Pediatrics, Hygiene and Outbreak. His Environmental health research includes themes of Psychological intervention, Sanitation, Hand washing, Public health and Developing country. His Epidemiology research integrates issues from Etiology, Immunology and Risk factor.

His Pediatrics research incorporates elements of Young adult, Demography, Incidence and Child mortality. His study looks at the intersection of Hygiene and topics like Diarrhea with Randomized controlled trial and Disinfectant. His Outbreak research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Transmission, Encephalitis and Veterinary medicine.

His most cited work include:

  • The global burden of typhoid fever. (1460 citations)
  • Effect of handwashing on child health: a randomised controlled trial (537 citations)
  • Person-to-Person Transmission of Nipah Virus in a Bangladeshi Community (291 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental health, Pediatrics, Outbreak, Public health and Epidemiology. Stephen P. Luby works mostly in the field of Environmental health, limiting it down to concerns involving Psychological intervention and, occasionally, Intervention. The various areas that Stephen P. Luby examines in his Pediatrics study include Incidence and Vaccination.

His Incidence study which covers Typhoid fever that intersects with Internal medicine. His work is dedicated to discovering how Outbreak, Veterinary medicine are connected with Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 and other disciplines. Stephen P. Luby frequently studies issues relating to Immunology and Epidemiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental health (42.42%)
  • Pediatrics (22.81%)
  • Outbreak (24.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Environmental health (42.42%)
  • Sanitation (11.27%)
  • Hygiene (13.49%)

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

Stephen P. Luby mainly investigates Environmental health, Sanitation, Hygiene, Randomized controlled trial and Typhoid fever. His Environmental health study combines topics in areas such as Health care, Transmission, Diarrhea, Public health and Fecal coliform. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rural area and Qualitative research.

His Sanitation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Psychological intervention and Feces. His Randomized controlled trial research includes elements of Young adult, Disease cluster, Demography and Respiratory illness. His work deals with themes such as Internal medicine, Blood culture and Antibiotic resistance, which intersect with Typhoid fever.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of water quality, sanitation, handwashing, and nutritional interventions on diarrhoea and child growth in rural Bangladesh: a cluster randomised controlled trial. (278 citations)
  • Morbidity and mortality due to shigella and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli diarrhoea: the Global Burden of Disease Study 1990-2016. (132 citations)
  • The WASH Benefits and SHINE trials: interpretation of WASH intervention effects on linear growth and diarrhoea (77 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Virus

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental health, Sanitation, Psychological intervention, Randomized controlled trial and Hygiene. His study in Environmental health is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Feces, Typhoid fever, Transmission, Public health and Indicator bacteria. His Transmission research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nipah virus, Outbreak, Encephalitis and Deworming.

Stephen P. Luby combines subjects such as Giardia, Hand disinfection and Water supply with his study of Sanitation. Many of his research projects under Psychological intervention are closely connected to Context and Fidelity with Context and Fidelity, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Hygiene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Intervention, Observational study, Scale and Health promotion.
