Declining or Waning
- Traditional Infectious Disease Surveillance:
There has been a noticeable reduction in studies focusing solely on traditional surveillance methods for infectious diseases, as newer methodologies gain traction. - Single Pathogen Studies:
Research concentrating on single pathogen infections is declining, with a shift towards studies that examine co-infections or broader microbial communities. - Non-communicable Disease Intersections:
While infectious diseases remain a focus, the intersection with non-communicable diseases has seen a decrease in research output compared to previous years. - Vaccine Development for Established Diseases:
There appears to be a waning interest in vaccine development for diseases with established vaccines, as the focus shifts towards emerging infectious diseases and novel pathogens.
