What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Walter S. Leal spends much of his time researching Pheromone, Sex pheromone, Biochemistry, Pheromone binding protein and Culex quinquefasciatus.
His Pheromone study contributes to a more complete understanding of Botany.
His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Olfaction, Receptor, Sensillum and Cell biology.
His Sex pheromone study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Zoology.
His Pheromone binding protein course of study focuses on Pheromone binding and Odorant-binding protein and Drosophila melanogaster.
His Culex quinquefasciatus research incorporates elements of Culex, Olfactory system, DEET and Virology.
His most cited work include:
- Odorant Reception in Insects: Roles of Receptors, Binding Proteins, and Degrading Enzymes (792 citations)
- Sexual attraction in the silkworm moth: structure of the pheromone-binding-protein-bombykol complex. (367 citations)
- NMR structure reveals intramolecular regulation mechanism for pheromone binding and release. (231 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Walter S. Leal mostly deals with Sex pheromone, Pheromone, Botany, Biochemistry and Culex quinquefasciatus.
Sex pheromone is a subfield of Zoology that Walter S. Leal explores.
His studies examine the connections between Pheromone and genetics, as well as such issues in Insect, with regards to Olfaction.
His research in Botany intersects with topics in Sensillum and Kairomone.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Biochemistry, Genetics is strongly linked to Olfactory system.
His study in Culex quinquefasciatus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Culex, Toxicology, DEET and Virology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Sex pheromone (46.32%)
- Pheromone (41.18%)
- Botany (26.84%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?
- Culex quinquefasciatus (15.81%)
- Aedes aegypti (9.56%)
- DEET (6.99%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Culex quinquefasciatus, Aedes aegypti, DEET, Receptor and Sex pheromone.
Walter S. Leal combines subjects such as Culex and Toxicology with his study of Culex quinquefasciatus.
His Aedes aegypti study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Virus, Zika virus and Virology.
The concepts of his DEET study are interwoven with issues in Insect repellent, Olfactory system and Pharmacology.
Receptor is a primary field of his research addressed under Biochemistry.
His work on Sex Attractants as part of general Sex pheromone study is frequently linked to Field tests, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Zika virus replication in the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus in Brazil (113 citations)
- Reverse chemical ecology approach for the identification of an oviposition attractant for Culex quinquefasciatus. (33 citations)
- Reverse chemical ecology at the service of conservation biology (24 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Walter S. Leal focuses on Culex quinquefasciatus, Sex pheromone, Receptor, Zika virus and Virus.
His Culex quinquefasciatus research includes elements of Gustatory system and DEET.
His Sex pheromone study is concerned with the larger field of Zoology.
His Zoology research focuses on subjects like Nonanal, which are linked to Chemical ecology.
His Receptor study incorporates themes from Anopheles gambiae, Xenopus and Olfaction.
The Virus study combines topics in areas such as Mosquito bite, Microcephaly and Midgut.
