Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To analyze the current research status and development trends in the field of biosecurity both domestically and internationally,and to provide references for biosecurity-related research and evaluation.METHODS Using CiteSpace software,bibliometrics was employed to collect thematic research on bios-ecurity published in the Science Citation Index database from 2004 to 2024.Research trends,keyword clustering and emergence research were investigated,with visual analysis conducted on the number of publications,contribu-ting countries and keywords.RESULTS A total of 13 108 articles were included in this study.Research on biosecu-rity both domestically and internationally was in a phase of rapid growth,with related fields exhibiting an"expo-nential"growth trend.China ranked first in terms of the number of publications(35.62％),followed by the Unit-ed States(19.33％)and Australia(10.38％).Analysis of keyword clustering revealed 20 clusters,including risk assessment,antibacterial drug resistance,green synthesis,gene therapy,one health,drug delivery,invasive spe-cies,bovines,emergency animal diseases and highly pathogenic avian influenza.Regarding antibacterial drug re-sistance,the focus was primarily on the transmission mechanisms of drug-resistant pathogens in poultry farming,while exploring novel antibacterial technologies such as biomaterials and probiotic alternatives to address the chal-lenge of drug-resistant bacteria.In terms of strategies,research was primarily conducted on the development,ap-plication and safety of agricultural biotechnology and genetically modified crops.Keywords burst analysis indicated that different research topics had certain temporal research popularity,with carbon nanotubes,Anopheles ste-phensi,coronaviruses and one health being recent emerging themes.CONCLUSION China achieves certain pro-gress in the field of biosecurity research,and conducts certain exploratory research on prevention,diagnosis,treatment and intervention of biosecurity.Biosecurity risk assessment,as a research hotspot,deserves close attention.
