Global Analysis of Research on Opisthorchisasis Infection Caused by Opisthorchis spp.

Abstract

This study investigated the existence of infections caused by opisthorchiasis and conducted a bibliometric analysis of its global trends. The main objective of this study is to analyse trends and cluster in this field among researchers in developed and developing countries by reviewing publications on opisthorchiasis around the world in order to develop effective control strategies. We searched the Web of Science (WOS) databases for studies published between 1980 and 2024 using the keywords 'Opisthorchis spp and Opisthorchis viverrini and Opisthorchis felineus and opisthorchiasis." Information like title, author names, year of publication, journal names and number of citations to journals were used for data collection. In the study, the software VOSviewer (ver.1.6.20) was used to visualize literature data on a global level. This study aimed to make the results more understandable through analysis using text mining and data visualisation methods (bubble maps and graphs). In this study, information was provided on 1957 articles from the WOS databases and the references to these articles. The H-index is 90. It was then observed that the number of studies conducted after 2005 increased. It was reported that most of the published articles (40%) were in the field of parasitology. Thailand (50%), USA (13%) and Japan (10%) are the countries that publish the most articles on this topic. Most published articles are in the international SCI-Expanded category (93%). The results of this bibliometric study reveal global trends in opisthorchiasis and provide important information for future research directions in this field. This study is the first bibliometric analysis of opisthorchiasis.
