Veterinary medicine and infectious diseases
Veterinary medicine and infectious diseases is a research topic within Small Animals. Science Explorer counts 13k research works in it since 1950. 10.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on enteric diseases affecting animals and humans, including topics such as proliferative enteropathy, caused by Lawsonia intracellularis, intestinal spirochetosis associated with Brachyspira species, the use of pleuromutilin antibiotics for treatment, antimicrobial resistance in these pathogens, swine dysentery, zoonotic transmission risks, and diagnostic assays for these diseases. The research also covers the impact of these diseases on animal health and the potential for transmission to humans.

Where is the best place to study Veterinary medicine and infectious diseases?
Among universities, judged by research, Nanjing Agricultural University, University of Veterinary Medicine and Islamic Azad University, Tehran score highest, combining citation excellence, specialisation, size, growth and international reach. Research strength is one signal when choosing where to study; it does not measure teaching.

Universities only. The score blends citation excellence (40%), size (30%), specialisation (10%), growth (10%), international reach (10%), 2022-now; growth compares 2018-21 with 2022-25 and counts up to +20%, since a jump from a small base is mostly noise.
Every institution in Veterinary medicine and infectious diseases, country by countryIs Veterinary medicine and infectious diseases research growing?
Output in 2022-2025 was 8% lower than in 2018-2021, peaking in 2021.
The same series as a ribbon: one cell per year, darker for more. The line above answers how much; this answers when.
Its share of all research
Growing output can still be a shrinking share: all of science grows. This is Veterinary medicine and infectious diseases as a percentage of every work published that year, 0.0060% in 2024.
Fractional works of Veterinary medicine and infectious diseases over all fractional works that year. How the balance of science has shifted.
How much of it reaches the world top 10%
Year by year.
Of each year's works in it, the share that reached the world's 10% most cited for their field and year. A field is the world for its own topics, so there is no other line to hold it against.
Which topics inside it are moving
Growth and decline on one axis around a shared zero. Two lists side by side hide the thing that matters: whether the growth dwarfs the decline, or the other way round.
