Declining or Waning
- Traditional Parasitic Control Methods:
Research focusing on conventional methods of parasite control, such as chemical treatments, seems to be waning in favor of more integrated and sustainable approaches. - Studies on Helminthic Infections in Livestock:
Although still relevant, the frequency of publications specifically addressing helminthic infections in livestock is decreasing, possibly due to a shift towards more complex interactions within ecosystems. - Geographical Studies of Parasite Distribution:
There is a noticeable reduction in studies solely focused on geographical mapping of parasite distribution, as current research tends to incorporate more interdisciplinary approaches.
