The share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in infectious diseases in the US is expected to decrease from 2024 to 2028, starting at 23.8% in 2024 and dropping to 21.03% by 2028. This downward trend suggests a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period. If 2023 served as a baseline with a slightly higher level of international collaboration, the anticipated decline reflects changes in priorities or partnerships.

Future trends to watch for include:

Government policies affecting international research collaborations.
Emergence of new infectious diseases driving cross-border research initiatives.
Technological advancements facilitating remote collaboration, potentially reversing current trends.
