Tropical Diseases Travel Medicine and Vaccines
Scope & Guideline
Transforming knowledge into action for tropical disease prevention.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Infectious Disease Surveillance and Management:
The journal emphasizes the surveillance, diagnosis, and management of infectious diseases prevalent in tropical regions, including malaria, dengue, and tuberculosis, particularly in the context of travel. - Vaccine Development and Safety:
There is a strong focus on the research and evaluation of vaccines, including their safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly and immunocompromised travelers. - Travel Health Consultation Practices:
The journal addresses the importance of pre-travel health consultations, exploring how travel health practitioners can better prepare travelers for health risks associated with their destinations. - Epidemiological Studies and Public Health Interventions:
Public health aspects, such as the impact of travel on disease spread and the effectiveness of interventions like mass drug administration and vaccination campaigns, are key areas of research. - Addressing Health Disparities and Vulnerable Populations:
Research focusing on marginalized groups, including refugees, internally displaced persons, and travelers with specific health needs, highlights the journal's commitment to equity in travel health.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Travel Health:
The pandemic has significantly influenced research, with a surge in studies examining the implications of COVID-19 on travel health practices, vaccination strategies, and the management of infectious diseases during and after the pandemic. - Vaccination Strategies and Public Health Messaging:
There is an increasing focus on effective vaccination strategies, including the acceptance and uptake of vaccines among travelers, particularly in the context of hesitancy surrounding COVID-19 vaccines. - Dengue and Arboviral Diseases:
Research on dengue fever and other arboviral diseases is gaining prominence, reflecting the growing concern over their prevalence and impact on travelers in tropical regions. - Integration of Technology in Travel Health:
The use of technology, including mobile applications and telemedicine, to enhance travel health consultations and disease surveillance is an emerging theme, highlighting innovative approaches in travel medicine. - Health Equity and Vulnerable Populations:
A notable trend is the focus on health equity, particularly the health challenges faced by refugees, internally displaced persons, and other vulnerable groups in the context of travel and infectious diseases.
Declining or Waning
- Emerging Infectious Diseases:
While once a prominent theme, the frequency of papers specifically addressing newly emerging infectious diseases has diminished, possibly due to a more established understanding and management strategies for these diseases. - Traditional Travel-Related Illnesses:
There has been a noticeable decline in publications solely focused on well-known travel-related illnesses, such as travelers' diarrhea, suggesting a shift towards more complex and multifactorial health issues. - Historical Perspectives on Travel Medicine:
Research exploring the historical context and evolution of travel medicine practices has waned, as the field increasingly prioritizes contemporary issues and emerging challenges. - Non-Infectious Travel Health Issues:
There appears to be a reduced focus on non-infectious health issues related to travel, such as mental health and psychological impacts, which are becoming less prominent in the journal's recent publications.
