Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Scope & Guideline
Bridging science and care for infectious diseases.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Epidemiology and Public Health:
Research focusing on the epidemiology of infectious diseases, their transmission dynamics, and public health implications in tropical regions. This includes studies on disease burden, risk factors, and the impact of environmental changes. - Neglected Tropical Diseases:
A strong emphasis on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) such as schistosomiasis, leprosy, and lymphatic filariasis, including their epidemiology, clinical management, and strategies for control and elimination. - Emerging Infectious Diseases:
Investigation of new and re-emerging infectious diseases, including zoonotic infections, with studies focusing on their epidemiology, transmission, and control measures. - Clinical Research and Diagnostics:
Research that evaluates clinical outcomes, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies for infectious diseases, especially in resource-limited settings. - Antimicrobial Resistance:
Studies addressing the patterns of antimicrobial resistance in tropical diseases, including the factors contributing to resistance and potential solutions for management. - One Health Approach:
Research incorporating the One Health concept, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, particularly in the context of zoonotic diseases.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of Climate Change on Infectious Diseases:
An increasing emphasis on the effects of climate change on the transmission and epidemiology of infectious diseases, highlighting the need for adaptive public health strategies. - Syndemics and Co-Morbidities:
A rising trend in research examining the syndemic nature of diseases, particularly the interactions between infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. - Digital Health and Telemedicine:
Emerging research focusing on the role of digital health technologies and telemedicine in improving access to care and disease management, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. - Vaccination Strategies and Hesitancy:
A growing body of work addressing vaccination strategies, acceptance, and hesitancy, particularly in the context of COVID-19 and other preventable tropical diseases. - Community Engagement in Health Interventions:
An increasing focus on community-based approaches and participatory research methodologies to enhance the effectiveness of health interventions and address local health needs.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Vector Control Methods:
There appears to be a declining focus on traditional vector control methods, such as indoor residual spraying and chemical insecticides, possibly due to emerging resistance and a shift towards integrated vector management strategies. - Chronic Infectious Diseases:
Research related to chronic infectious diseases, such as leprosy and chronic hepatitis, has decreased, indicating a potential shift in focus towards acute infectious diseases and emerging threats. - Single-Agent Antimicrobial Treatments:
There is a waning interest in studies focusing solely on single-agent antimicrobial treatments, with a growing emphasis on combination therapies and alternative treatment strategies. - Basic Science of Infectious Disease Mechanisms:
Research focused solely on the basic science mechanisms of infectious diseases has seen a decline, as the journal emphasizes more on applied research and clinical outcomes. - Travel Medicine and Infectious Diseases:
The emphasis on travel-related infectious diseases appears to have decreased, potentially due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global travel and changing research priorities.
