The authors that make up these lists are global in flavor and work on all manner of cholera research, from genomes to epidemiology to vaccines. John Mekalanos of Harvard University, who ranks #1 by total cites, concentrates on genomic analyses of V. cholerae. The research of next-ranked Rita Colwell at the University of Maryland centers on virulence and environmental factors. G.B. Nair of the National Institute of Cholera and Infectious Diseases (NICED) focuses on epidemiologic issues such as V. cholerae strains associated with various outbreaks. Gothenburg University's Jan Holmgren tackles cholera from an immunological perspective.
Steve Calderwood's group at Massachusetts General Hospital is currently working in Bangladesh with Firdausi Qadri and others at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research (ICDDR). Mekalanos, Calderwood, and Matthew Waldor are coauthors, with 14 other researchers, of a paper on the origins of the Haitian cholera outbreak strain, which was just released in "online first" format in the New England Journal of Medicine in December.

Overall General Information
Regarding Top 20 Scientists, Institutions, Journals, & Nations
Citation tables allow us to map compelling trends:
- Are there particular nations or institutions that might be expected to dominate research in the Topic area, and do the numbers bear out these expectations, or are there surprises?
- Who are the leading scientists and where are they located?
While these tables cannot offer a complete picture, the number of trends and anomalies that can be spotlighted or connected across categories is striking. The tables often lead to renewed perspectives to further explore and validate.
What are Special Topics?
Special Topics, from ScienceWatch.com, is designed to complement Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Clarivate in providing citation analyses and commentary for selected scientific research areas that have experienced notable recent advances or are of special current interest.
