Overview

Walter Knapp is a researcher affiliated with the University of Vienna in Austria. Their academic focus spans various aspects of medicine, with particular attention to epidemiology and infectious diseases. The body of their work primarily addresses respiratory viral infections and viral diseases, including specific studies on Parvovirus B19 infection.

Knapp's recent publication record includes a study titled Transplacental Antibody Transfer of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Specific IgG in Non-Human Primate Mother-Infant Pairs, published in 2021 in the journal Pathogens. This work is part of the broader investigation of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and explores immunological mechanisms relevant to maternal-infant health in the context of viral infections.

Collaboration is a feature of Knapp's research, with frequent coauthors including Michael Citron, Jessica McAnulty, Cheryl Callahan, Jane Fontenot, and Pablo Morales. These partnerships contribute to the multidisciplinary approach evident in the published studies.

Their publication venues are concentrated within specialized medical and biomedical journals, with Pathogens noted as a key platform for disseminating findings.
