Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on infectious diseases, particularly those disproportionately affecting impoverished populations and linked to environmental factors. It covers research on neglected tropical diseases like schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths, as well as emerging viral infections such as chikungunya and dengue. The scope includes studies on disease surveillance, diagnostic methods, the impact of climate change, and health system responses in resource-limited settings.
