Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
Scope & Guideline
Exploring the depths of infectious disease knowledge.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Infectious Diseases and Parasitology:
The journal publishes extensive research on various infectious diseases, including malaria, leishmaniasis, tuberculosis, and arboviruses. It covers both clinical and epidemiological aspects, aiming to inform treatment protocols and public health strategies. - Public Health and Epidemiology:
Research that examines public health concerns, disease burden, and epidemiological trends in Brazil is a core focus. This includes studies on disease outbreaks, health care access, and interventions to improve health outcomes in vulnerable populations. - Vector-borne Diseases:
The journal emphasizes studies related to vector-borne diseases, particularly those transmitted by triatomines, mosquitoes, and other vectors. Research includes vector ecology, control strategies, and the impact of climate change on disease transmission. - Clinical Case Reports and Reviews:
The journal features clinical case reports that provide insights into rare or unusual presentations of diseases, as well as systematic reviews that synthesize current knowledge on specific topics, contributing to clinical practice. - Innovative Diagnostic and Treatment Approaches:
There is a focus on research that explores new diagnostic tools, treatment options, and preventive measures for tropical diseases, including the application of molecular biology techniques and novel therapeutics.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of Climate Change on Disease Patterns:
There is an increasing focus on how climate change affects the incidence and spread of infectious diseases, particularly vector-borne diseases like dengue and malaria. This trend highlights the need for adaptive public health strategies. - COVID-19 and its Implications:
Research related to COVID-19, including its clinical manifestations, long-term effects, and co-infections with other diseases, has surged. This reflects an urgent response to the pandemic's impact on public health. - Social Determinants of Health:
Emerging studies are increasingly linking disease prevalence and outcomes to social determinants of health, emphasizing the importance of addressing socioeconomic factors in disease prevention and health care access. - Mental Health in Infectious Disease Contexts:
There is a growing recognition of the mental health impacts associated with infectious diseases, particularly in the context of pandemics and chronic illness, leading to more research in this area. - Antimicrobial Resistance:
Research on antimicrobial resistance is gaining traction, especially concerning hospital-acquired infections. This trend underscores the importance of monitoring resistance patterns and developing effective treatment protocols.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Tropical Diseases:
Research on well-established tropical diseases, such as schistosomiasis, has seen a decrease, possibly due to successful control measures or a shift towards emerging diseases and public health challenges. - Zoonotic Diseases:
There has been a noticeable decline in studies specifically targeting zoonotic diseases, which were previously a significant focus. This may reflect a broader interest in human-centric health issues over zoonotic transmission pathways. - Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs):
Although still important, the emphasis on NTDs appears to be waning in favor of more broadly impactful diseases that affect larger populations or have higher mortality and morbidity rates. - Chronic Infectious Diseases:
Research on chronic infectious diseases, such as leprosy and some forms of chronic viral infections, has decreased. This may indicate a shift towards acute and more prevalent health threats.
