Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Disease
  • Internal medicine

William L. Nicholson mainly investigates Virology, Ehrlichia, Tick, Ehrlichiosis and Serology. His study deals with a combination of Virology and Trench fever. His Ehrlichia study combines topics in areas such as Ribosomal RNA, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Nested polymerase chain reaction, Peromyscus truei and Neotoma fuscipes.

The concepts of his Tick study are interwoven with issues in Rickettsiales, Disease reservoir and Peromyscus. His work carried out in the field of Ehrlichiosis brings together such families of science as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Immunoglobulin G and Epidemiology. His Serology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bartonella Infection, Antigen and Immunofluorescence.

His most cited work include:

  • Nested PCR Assay for Detection of Granulocytic Ehrlichiae (327 citations)
  • Diagnosis and management of tickborne rickettsial diseases: Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichioses, and anaplasmosis--United States: a practical guide for physicians and other health-care and public health professionals. (293 citations)
  • Etiology of severe non-malaria febrile illness in Northern Tanzania: a prospective cohort study. (235 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Virology, Tick, Spotted fever, Serology and Rickettsia rickettsii. The various areas that he examines in his Virology study include Antibody and Polymerase chain reaction. His study focuses on the intersection of Tick and fields such as Zoology with connections in the field of Rickettsiaceae.

His Spotted fever research incorporates elements of Rickettsiosis, Seroprevalence and Dermacentor. His study in the field of Ehrlichiosis and Bartonella henselae is also linked to topics like Bacteremia. His work deals with themes such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Vector and Eschar, which intersect with Rickettsia rickettsii.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (61.73%)
  • Tick (29.63%)
  • Spotted fever (27.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Spotted fever (27.16%)
  • Tick (29.63%)
  • Rocky Mountain spotted fever (18.52%)

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

Spotted fever, Tick, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Virology and Rickettsia rickettsii are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Tick-borne disease and Dermacentor. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Zoology under Tick, and may sometimes address concerns connected to 16S ribosomal RNA.

His research integrates issues of Serology, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Polymerase chain reaction in his study of Virology. His research in Serology intersects with topics in Pathogen, Ehrlichia muris, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmataceae and Ehrlichiosis. His study in Rickettsia rickettsii is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Veterinary medicine and Seroprevalence.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Diagnosis and Management of Tickborne Rickettsial Diseases: Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Other Spotted Fever Group Rickettsioses, Ehrlichioses, and Anaplasmosis - United States. (192 citations)
  • Rickettsia amblyommatis sp. nov., a spotted fever group Rickettsia associated with multiple species of Amblyomma ticks in North, Central and South America. (56 citations)
  • Bartonella spp. bacteremia in blood donors from Campinas, Brazil. (44 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Disease
  • Internal medicine

His main research concerns Virology, Tick, Amblyomma americanum, Spotted fever and Microbiology. His studies in Virology integrate themes in fields like Serology and Bartonella quintana. William L. Nicholson has included themes like Pathogen, Ehrlichia muris, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia and Ixodes scapularis in his Serology study.

His Tick study combines topics in areas such as Type, Heartland virus and Rickettsia. His Spotted fever study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Anaplasmosis, Tick-borne disease, Epidemiology and Ehrlichiosis. In the field of Microbiology, his study on Bartonella Infection overlaps with subjects such as Bacteremia.
