Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

William C. Black mostly deals with Genetics, Aedes aegypti, Virology, Population genetics and RAPD. Genetic variation, Genetic marker, Polymerase chain reaction, Genotype and Gene are the subjects of his Genetics studies. William C. Black interconnects Vector, Permethrin, Genetic diversity, Arbovirus and Dengue fever in the investigation of issues within Aedes aegypti.

His research in Dengue fever tackles topics such as Yellow fever which are related to areas like Genetic model. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Quantitative trait locus and Pyrethroid. His Population genetics research incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology, Gene flow, DNA profiling and Genome.

His most cited work include:

  • Phylogeny of hard- and soft-tick taxa (Acari: Ixodida) based on mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequences (503 citations)
  • Flavivirus susceptibility in Aedes aegypti. (270 citations)
  • Genomic analysis of detoxification genes in the mosquito Aedes aegypti (253 citations)

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

William C. Black mainly investigates Genetics, Aedes aegypti, Virology, Dengue fever and Aedes. As part of his studies on Genetics, he often connects relevant subjects like RAPD. William C. Black works mostly in the field of RAPD, limiting it down to topics relating to Genetic marker and, in certain cases, Genetic variation.

William C. Black combines subjects such as Vector, Permethrin, Arbovirus, Pyrethroid and Dengue virus with his study of Aedes aegypti. He focuses mostly in the field of Vector, narrowing it down to topics relating to Ecology and, in certain cases, Zoology, Genetic diversity and Phylogenetics. His work carried out in the field of Dengue fever brings together such families of science as Transmission, Yellow fever, Serotype and Insecticide resistance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (45.00%)
  • Aedes aegypti (42.73%)
  • Virology (25.00%)

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

  • Aedes aegypti (42.73%)
  • Dengue fever (17.27%)
  • Chikungunya (5.45%)

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

William C. Black mainly focuses on Aedes aegypti, Dengue fever, Chikungunya, Virology and Permethrin. His Aedes aegypti research includes themes of Genetics, Vector, Arbovirus, Veterinary medicine and Pyrethroid. William C. Black mostly deals with Gene in his studies of Genetics.

William C. Black works mostly in the field of Dengue fever, limiting it down to topics relating to Knockdown resistance and, in certain cases, Insecticide resistance, as a part of the same area of interest. His study looks at the intersection of Chikungunya and topics like Yellow fever with Transmission. His Permethrin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Malathion, Bioassay, Resistance and Culex quinquefasciatus.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Improved reference genome of Aedes aegypti informs arbovirus vector control (205 citations)
  • Rapid and specific detection of Asian- and African-lineage Zika viruses (63 citations)
  • Parallel evolution of vgsc mutations at domains IS6, IIS6 and IIIS6 in pyrethroid resistant Aedes aegypti from Mexico. (46 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Aedes aegypti, Chikungunya, Dengue fever, Vector and Virology. His research in Aedes aegypti is mostly focused on Aedes albopictus. His Chikungunya research includes themes of Arbovirus, Yellow fever and Computational biology.

His Yellow fever study improves the overall literature in Genetics. His Vector research incorporates themes from Pesticide, Permethrin, Organophosphate, Toxicology and Knockdown resistance. His is involved in several facets of Virology study, as is seen by his studies on Aedes and Zika virus.
