Unraveling the HIV-malaria interactions: a bibliometric analysis of global research trends and emerging insights.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The co-infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and malaria has emerged as an urgent public health challenge in tropical areas where the two diseases geographically converge, stimulating extensive biomedical investigations into their pathobiological interactions. This study aims to elucidate the current status and research trends regarding the interactions between HIV and malaria through bibliometric and visualized analysis.

Methods

Research on the interactions between HIV and malaria was collected from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analysis and knowledge graph visualization were performed on 4,717 articles published between 1995 and 2024, using CiteSpace software.

Results

The results demonstrate a fluctuating upward pattern in the
