Special Issue on Tropical Diseases

Tropical Diseases encompass all diseases that occur solely, or principally, in the tropics. In practice, the term is often taken to refer to infectious diseases that thrive in hot, humid conditions, such as malaria, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, Chagas disease, African trypanosomiasis, and dengue.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring tropical diseases. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Malaria
• Leishmaniasis
• Schistosomiasis
• Chagas disease
• Other neglected tropical diseases
• Relation of climate to tropical diseases
• Prevention and treatment of tropical diseases

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Tropical Diseases” should be selected during your submission.
