Declining or Waning
- Traditional Helminthology:
There seems to be a decline in studies solely focused on traditional helminth infections without integrating modern molecular techniques or public health implications, as the research landscape evolves towards more comprehensive approaches. - Laboratory-Based Studies:
There is a noticeable decrease in purely laboratory-based studies that do not connect to field data or real-world implications, indicating a shift towards more applied research. - Single-Species Focus:
Research focusing on single species of parasites without considering ecological or epidemiological contexts is becoming less common, as there is a growing recognition of the interconnectedness of various parasitic diseases.
