Trending and Emerging
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Applications:
The integration of AI in the repurposing of herbs for therapy and predictive modeling for vector control is emerging as a significant trend. - Climate Change and Vector Dynamics:
Research exploring the impact of climate change on vector behavior and disease transmission is gaining traction, highlighting the need for adaptive strategies. - Multi-Pathogen Interactions:
Emerging studies on co-infections, such as dengue and malaria, are becoming more prominent, reflecting the complex nature of vector-borne diseases. - Innovative Control Strategies:
There is an increasing focus on novel control strategies, including the use of biological control agents and environmentally friendly insecticides. - Public Health Response and Community Engagement:
Research emphasizing community involvement and educational interventions in vector control efforts is increasingly being published, recognizing the importance of social factors.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Vector Control Methods:
Research on conventional methods such as fogging and residual spraying has decreased as new strategies and biological controls gain prominence. - Non-Viral Zoonotic Diseases:
There is a noticeable reduction in papers focusing on non-viral zoonotic diseases, suggesting a shift towards viral infections like dengue and chikungunya. - General Vector Surveillance:
General studies on vector surveillance have declined as more targeted and sophisticated methodologies, such as molecular xenomonitoring, are being favored. - Insecticide Resistance Studies:
While still relevant, there is a decreasing trend in studies solely focusing on insecticide resistance, as integrated approaches combining various control methods are becoming more popular.
