Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Disease
  • Virus

Uriel Kitron mainly investigates Ecology, Vector, Dengue virus, Virology and Dengue fever. His Ecology research includes elements of Mosquito control, Data science and Environmental health. His studies deal with areas such as Abundance, Biodiversity, Tick-borne disease, Transmission and Animal ecology as well as Vector.

His Dengue virus study incorporates themes from Disease, Identification and Basic reproduction number. The Dengue fever study combines topics in areas such as Outbreak, Environmental exposure and Geographic information system. In his study, Chikungunya, Attack rate and Pediatrics is inextricably linked to Zika virus, which falls within the broad field of Outbreak.

His most cited work include:

  • The Role of Human Movement in the Transmission of Vector-Borne Pathogens (367 citations)
  • House-to-house human movement drives dengue virus transmission (317 citations)
  • House-to-house human movement drives dengue virus transmission (317 citations)

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

Uriel Kitron mainly focuses on Ecology, Vector, Virology, Dengue fever and Triatoma infestans. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Ecology, Population density is strongly linked to Zoology. His Vector research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Range, Abundance, Host, Culex and Aedes aegypti.

His Aedes aegypti study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mosquito control, Amazon rainforest and Aedes. The concepts of his Dengue fever study are interwoven with issues in Transmission, Outbreak and Environmental health. His Triatoma infestans research incorporates themes from Triatoma, Chagas disease and Veterinary medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (58.69%)
  • Vector (28.20%)
  • Virology (21.97%)

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

  • Dengue fever (22.95%)
  • Outbreak (18.36%)
  • Chikungunya (12.13%)

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

Uriel Kitron spends much of his time researching Dengue fever, Outbreak, Chikungunya, Virology and Transmission. When carried out as part of a general Dengue fever research project, his work on Dengue virus is frequently linked to work in Mores, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Outbreak research includes themes of Environmental health, Case-control study, Pellagra and Aedes aegypti.

Uriel Kitron has researched Aedes aegypti in several fields, including Abundance, Vector, Infestation and Aedes. Uriel Kitron combines subjects such as Ecology, Biodiversity and Habitat with his study of Vector. His research integrates issues of Biological dispersal and Gene flow in his study of Ecology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Variation in Aedes aegypti Mosquito Competence for Zika Virus Transmission. (105 citations)
  • Zika in the Americas, year 2: What have we learned? What gaps remain? A report from the Global Virus Network. (68 citations)
  • Contributions from the silent majority dominate dengue virus transmission (63 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Virus
  • Disease

His primary areas of study are Zika virus, Virology, Outbreak, Transmission and Dengue fever. His Outbreak research integrates issues from Arbovirus and Aedes aegypti. His Transmission study combines topics in areas such as Dengue virus and Disease.

His study focuses on the intersection of Dengue fever and fields such as Flavivirus with connections in the field of Serology, Immunoassay and Antigen. Pupa is a subfield of Ecology that Uriel Kitron tackles. He has included themes like Seroprevalence and Parasitology in his Ecology study.
