The journal covers research on emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, including zoonotic diseases, highlighting the need for continuous surveillance and rapid response mechanisms.
Trending and Emerging
- COVID-19 Research and Vaccination Strategies:
A substantial increase in publications related to COVID-19, including vaccine efficacy, long-term effects, and public health responses, has been observed as the pandemic continues to influence global health. - Innovative Treatment Approaches:
Emerging themes in novel treatment strategies utilizing monoclonal antibodies, antiviral therapies, and combination therapies for various infectious diseases are gaining prominence. - Global Health Security and Preparedness:
Research focusing on pandemic preparedness, surveillance systems, and global health security has surged, emphasizing the importance of readiness for future outbreaks. - Mental Health and Infectious Diseases:
There is a growing trend in exploring the intersection of mental health and infectious diseases, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and its psychological impacts. - Antimicrobial Stewardship and Resistance Management:
Increased attention is being paid to antimicrobial stewardship programs and strategies to combat resistance, reflecting an ongoing commitment to addressing AMR as a public health threat.
Declining or Waning
- Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR):
Although AMR remains a critical issue, the frequency of dedicated publications on AMR has decreased, possibly due to the heightened focus on COVID-19-related research and other emerging infectious diseases. - Tuberculosis (TB) Research:
There has been a noticeable reduction in the number of studies specifically addressing tuberculosis, particularly in the context of treatment regimens and epidemiological studies, as other infectious diseases have gained more attention. - Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs):
Research focused on NTDs has waned, potentially overshadowed by more pressing global health crises such as COVID-19, leading to fewer dedicated articles on these diseases. - Vaccine Development for Established Diseases:
The journal has shifted focus towards COVID-19 vaccine research, resulting in fewer publications on vaccines for diseases like measles, mumps, and rubella, which were previously more prominently discussed. - Longitudinal Studies on Historical Diseases:
There has been a decline in the publication of longitudinal studies tracking historical infectious diseases, as newer outbreaks and emerging pathogens dominate the research landscape.
