Declining or Waning
- Traditional Laboratory Techniques:
There has been a noticeable decline in publications focusing on traditional microbiological laboratory techniques, as the field shifts towards more rapid and molecular diagnostics that offer quicker results and higher accuracy. - Specific Pathogen Studies:
Research centered on specific pathogens with previously high publication rates, such as certain bacterial infections, seems to be waning, possibly due to the saturation of existing knowledge and a shift towards broader epidemiological studies. - Non-communicable Disease Intersections:
There appears to be a reduction in studies exploring the intersection of infectious diseases with non-communicable diseases, as the focus narrows more towards acute infectious disease management and prevention.
