Webinar: Infectious Disease Outbreak Research: Insights and Trends

Over the past two decades, the world has faced several infectious disease outbreaks. Ebola, Influenza A (H1N1), SARS, MERS, Zika virus and, most recently, COVID-19, have had a massive global impact in terms of economic disruption, strain on local and global public health resources and, above all, human health.

Listen as Dr. Bamini Jayabalasingham explains how the research was conducted to uncover trends in outbreaks research, the various governmental bodies involved and the ways to identify health security research. View recording.

Interactive map: global disease outbreak experts
This map represents the most active institutions researching disease outbreak and control.

We ran a search in Scopus for publications researching the coronavirus and related diseases such as SARS from 1996 to the present (Feb 6, 2020). We then used the resulting ~22,000 publications to identify the researchers and institutions that are working in these areas. The map shows the 500 most prolific global institutions, along with the 200 most prolific Chinese institutions by publication count.
