From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology[edit | edit source]

The Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology was a peer-reviewed medical journal that focused on research in the fields of tropical medicine and parasitology. Established in 1907, the journal was a significant source of scholarly articles and research findings related to diseases prevalent in tropical regions and the parasites that cause them.

History[edit | edit source]

The journal was founded by Sir Ronald Ross, a prominent figure in the study of malaria, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1902 for his work on the transmission of malaria. The journal was initially published by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, which was one of the first institutions dedicated to the study of tropical diseases.

Over the years, the Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology published numerous groundbreaking studies and reviews that contributed to the understanding and treatment of tropical diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, leishmaniasis, and schistosomiasis.

Scope and Content[edit | edit source]

The journal covered a wide range of topics within tropical medicine and parasitology, including:

  • Epidemiology and control of tropical diseases
  • Pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of parasitic infections
  • Advances in diagnostic techniques
  • Development of vaccines and therapeutics
  • Public health strategies for disease prevention and control

The journal was known for its rigorous peer-review process and its commitment to publishing high-quality research that had a significant impact on the field.

Transition and Legacy[edit | edit source]

In 2011, the Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology was merged into the journal Pathogens and Global Health, which continues to publish research on infectious diseases affecting global health, with a particular focus on tropical diseases.

The legacy of the Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology lives on through its contributions to the field and its role in advancing the understanding of diseases that disproportionately affect populations in tropical regions.
