Description
Christian Joseph Ong and co-authors map research on virus-based antimicrobials across Southeast Asia, in a 2026 study. Bacteriophages are viruses that kill bacteria. Interest in them is rising as drug resistance spreads in the region. How the regional field has grown, and who leads it, was uncharted.
The team ran a bibliometric analysis of indexed papers from 1981 to 2025. Software charted publication counts, collaboration networks, and hot topics. Knowledge structure and emerging pathways were drawn from citation patterns. The map shows where capacity clusters and where gaps persist. Funders can target support to rising groups. Regional cooperation emerges as a clear opportunity. The study serves planners more than bench scientists.
