Albert I. Ko’s indexed work centers on the global burden and molecular biology of leptospirosis, a neglected zoonotic disease. His senior-authored systematic review of leptospirosis morbidity and mortality (1986 citations) established foundational epidemiological estimates, while his first-author perspective on the molecular genetics era for *Leptospira* (886 citations) charted a path for modern pathogen research. Ko also led pivotal studies on SARS-CoV-2 detection, including a senior-authored trial comparing saliva to nasopharyngeal swabs (1051 citations) and a case report documenting the de novo emergence of remdesivir resistance during treatment of an immunocompromised patient (314 citations). Beyond his lead-author contributions, Ko collaborated on high-impact consortia studies, including a middle-author role in a *Nature* paper on longitudinal immune responses in severe COVID-19 (2312 citations) and a *Nature* study on sex differences in immune responses underlying COVID-19 outcomes (1526 citations). His earlier work on pathways to zoonotic spillover (1270 citations) further contextualizes his career-long focus on emerging infectious diseases. Across these efforts, Ko has consistently bridged field epidemiology in urban slums with molecular characterization of pathogens, advancing both clinical diagnostics and fundamental understanding of transmission dynamics.
