About David Simons

David Simons, With an exceptional h-index of 20 and a recent h-index of 19 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Royal Veterinary College University of London, specializes in the field of Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Lassa Fever, Rodent Ecology.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Developing transmissible vaccines for animal infections

Smoking, nicotine, and COVID-19: triangulation of methods and preregistration are required for robust causal inference

Rodent trapping studies as an overlooked information source for understanding endemic and novel zoonotic spillover

A dataset of small-mammal detections in West Africa and their associated micro-organisms

Comparative transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B. 1.1. 529) and Delta (B. 1.617. 2) variants and the impact of vaccination: national cohort study, England

Current sampling and sequencing biases of Lassa mammarenavirus limit inference from phylogeography and molecular epidemiology in Lassa fever endemic regions

Classification of lapses in smokers attempting to stop: A supervised machine learning approach using data from a popular smoking cessation smartphone app

Increased outbreaks of monkeypox highlight gaps in actual disease burden in Sub-Saharan Africa and in animal reservoirs
