In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Tom G. Schwan spends much of his time researching Virology, Borrelia hermsii, Tick, relapsing fever and Ornithodoros hermsi.
Tom G. Schwan focuses mostly in the field of Virology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Seroprevalence and, in certain cases, Blood meal.
His research links Microbiology with Borrelia hermsii.
Tom G. Schwan usually deals with Microbiology and limits it to topics linked to Borrelia burgdorferi and Lyme disease and Sequence analysis.
His work focuses on many connections between Tick and other disciplines, such as Vector, that overlap with his field of interest in Chipmunk.
Tom G. Schwan interconnects Ornithodoros and Tick-borne disease in the investigation of issues within Ornithodoros hermsi.
Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Detection of Lassa virus, Mali. (74 citations)
- Geographic distribution and genetic characterization of Lassa virus in sub-Saharan Mali. (42 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Tom G. Schwan focuses on Virology, Tick, Borrelia, Borrelia hermsii and Microbiology.
In general Virology, his work in Lassa fever is often linked to Lassa virus linking many areas of study.
The Tick study combines topics in areas such as Borrelia theileri and Genus.
His Borrelia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plasmid, Plasmid maintenance, Genome and Virulence.
His research investigates the link between Borrelia hermsii and topics such as relapsing fever that cross with problems in Ornithodoros and Ornithodoros hermsi.
His study explores the link between Microbiology and topics such as Borrelia burgdorferi that cross with problems in Sequence analysis, Antigen, Lyme disease and Bacterial antigen.
