Declining or Waning
- Traditional Herbal Medicine Research:
The focus on traditional herbal medicine as a treatment for infectious diseases appears to be waning, with fewer studies being published in this area compared to previous years. - Prolonged Antiviral Treatments:
Research on extended antiviral therapies, particularly for older antiviral agents, has decreased, possibly due to the emergence of more effective treatments and therapies. - Animal Studies in Infectious Disease Research:
There has been a noticeable reduction in studies primarily focused on animal models for infectious disease research, as the journal shifts towards more clinical and epidemiological studies. - Emerging Infectious Diseases from Non-Human Sources:
Publications on zoonotic infections and emerging diseases from wildlife have become less frequent, possibly due to a shift in focus towards human-centric infectious diseases, particularly post-COVID-19.
