About the journal
 The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene is a peer-reviewed journal published monthly by the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and consists of two complete, sequentially numbered volumes each calendar year.
The Instructions to Authors may be found in the first issue of each volume of the journal. Manuscripts can be submitted electronically at ajtmh.manuscriptcentral.com
Journal Affiliation
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene is the official scientific journal of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH). The Society is a nonprofit, professional organization whose mission is to promote world health by the prevention and control of tropical disease through research and education.
Editorial Content and Market Coverage
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene is the leading international journal in tropical medicine. Content includes original scientific articles and cutting edge science covering new research with an emphasis on laboratory science and the application of technology in the fields of tropical medicine, parasitology, immunology, infectious diseases, epidemiology, basic and molecular biology, virology and international medicine. The Journal publishes unsolicited peer-reviewed manuscripts, invited review articles, short reports, case studies, reports on the efficacy of new drugs and methods of treatment, prevention and control methodologies, new testing methods and equipment, book reports and letters to the Editor. Topics range from applied epidemiology in such relevant areas as AIDS to the molecular biology of vaccine development.
Three or more supplements to the Journal on topics of special interest are published annually, including a Directory of International Opportunities, The Membership Directory of the Society, and The Program and Abstracts of the Society's annual meeting. The Journal is abstracted and/or indexed in the Index Medicus, Biological Abstracts, Proto-zoological Abstracts, Helminthological Abstracts, Review of Applied Ento-mology, Tropical Disease Bulletin, and EMBASE/Excerpta Medica.
The Journal is of interest to microbiologists, epidemiologists, virologists, parasitologists, pharmacologists, and clinicians. The Journal is also purchased by major granting institutions including philanthropic and governmental institutions active in the public health field, and medical and scientific libraries throughout the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, the middle and far East, and many other foreign countries.
Circulation: 4,200

Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts and correspondence can be submitted at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ajtmh. Questions about the submission process can be directed to cbs15@cwru.edu
or Support@ScholarOne.com
.
Authors who are unable to submit via the Manuscript Central website may send an electronic copy of their manuscript by e-mail
or on a disk. However, we prefer that authors submit their own manuscripts electronically. Self-submission by the corresponding author allows authors greater control over the submission process. In addition, authors can provide us with helpful information, such as suggested and excluded reviewers, contact information for all authors, and comments to the Editor upon submission.
Cover Letter and Signatures
All manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover letter with the following information:
- The title of the paper
- Significance of the paper to the readers of the Journal
- A statement that the material has not and will not be submitted for publication elsewhere so long as it is under consideration by the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
- Written disclosure of any relationships or support which might be perceived as constituting a conflict of interest
- A statement that the material is original and has not already been published
- First and last names of all contributing authors (middle names and initials are optional), accompanied by a statement indicating that they have participated in the study and concur with the submission and subsequent revisions submitted by the corresponding author
Each contributing author must sign a copy of the cover letter and send a copy of the signed cover letter to the journal office in one of the following ways:
Authorship
The journal allows up to 15 authors per manuscript. Other contributors may be mentioned in the acknowledgments section or in a footnote to the author list. Only those persons listed as authors on the manuscript must submit their signature to the journal.
Manuscript types
Original research papers, clinical case reports, technical reports, comprehensive and authoritative reviews, diagnostic exercises, short reports, and Letters to the Editor written in English will be considered. There is no word limit for original research papers, but all efforts should be made to make the paper as succinct as possible. As with all journals, the editors can recommend that certain parts of the paper be eliminated or incorporated into supplementary information.
The journal is now accepting review articles. Review articles should be 750-1000 words in length, with no more than 15 references. There are no author page charges for review articles.
Images in clinical tropical medicine
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene will publish Images in Clinical Tropical Medicine focused on typical and unusual presentations of tropical diseases--infectious and non- infectious--that occur anywhere in the world, whether in developing countries or in immigrants or returning travelers in industrialized countries. This venue is intended to focus on clinical cases that have visual immediacy and are of clinical interest and importance to our readership.
We will consider original, high-quality images for publication in this special feature, for which page charges will be waived. Material must not have been published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Images may appear in the print version of the Journal, the electronic version, or both. Images will be published in black and white in the print version of the journal (unless the author wishes to pay color charges) and in color in the on-line version of the journal. A compendium of Images in Tropical Medicine will be put together on the ASTMH website for members.
Text should be double-spaced in MS Word format, and include a brief title. Up to three authors may be listed. A case may be submitted as an exemplar of a particular aspect of a tropical disease or as an unknown. Submissions should include name, highest academic degree, address, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number of each author. Text should be no more than 200 words and will be subject to editing and shortening. There may be up to 2 references.
Submissions for this section may be submitted at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ajtmh or may be sent to the managing editor
for consideration.
File types
Prepare your manuscript using a word processing program and save it as a .doc or .rtf file. You may also upload .xls or .ppt supplemental files as part of the manuscript submission process. All of these files will be converted to .pdf format. Image files such as .gif, .jpg, .eps, .png, and .tif may be uploaded. These will be converted to small .jpg files.
Please do NOT upload .pdf files, as we may need to make some changes to the paper during copyediting. The journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents at this time. Please use Word's "Save As" option to save your document as an older (.doc) file type
The converted .pdf and .jpg files will be the files evaluated during the review process. All original files that you upload, as well as their associated converted files marked as Not for Review at the end of the manuscript submission process, will be available for access by the journal office if necessary.
You may upload other file types such as LaTeX files, QuickTime movies, or other image types, but Manuscript Central will not convert these. The peer review participants will only be able to view these unconverted files if they have the appropriate software on their computers.
Short Reports
A Short Report is preferred for the submission of important preliminary observations, technique modifications or data that simply do not warrant publication as a full paper. Short reports should be approximately 500-1500 words, but must provide adequate information to allow for the same stringent peer review given other submissions. The number of authors, references, and number and size of figures and tables should be limited to the minimum necessary. A brief abstract is required for indexing, but delineated sections, such as Material and Methods, should not be used. Preliminary data published as a short report will not preclude subsequent publication of more complete results if the work is significantly expanded.
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the Editor should not contain unpublished data or material which is being submitted for publication and will not be cited in this Journal, nor should they be cited elsewhere.
Requested and excluded reviewers
The journal's submission site allows authors the opportunity to suggest up to six potential reviewers for their manuscript and up to six reviewers to be excluded from reviewing the manuscript. The Editors strongly suggest that authors use this feature when submitting a manuscript to the journal, as it will serve to expedite the review process.
Spacing
The text should be in 12 point type, fully double-spaced (1? spacing is not acceptable), leaving a margin of 1 inch on all sides. Also double-space table and figure legends, tabular material and references. Number all pages consecutively, starting with the title page.
Illustrations
Graphs, drawings and photographs (please include patients' permission to use their photographs or "blinders" to protect identity) should be numbered and cited in the text. Color illustrations are costly and can be reproduced only at the expense of the author.
Tables
Tables should be on a separate page, serially numbered in Arabic numerals, and cited in the text. Tables should be designed for printing in one-column width, if possible, and should never require more than full-page width.
Equations
While the journal office accepts manuscript submissions in Microsoft Word 2007, we have determined that there are problems associated with equations created by this program抯 equation builder. Authors using Microsoft Word 2007 must use the original equation editor, which still exists in Word 2007, or they may use the full MathType add-in to create equations. To access Equation Editor 3.0 in Word 2007, click the Insert tab from the ribbon, then click the Object button from the text group. Select Object from the drop-down menu. When the Object Dialog box appears, scroll down and select Microsoft Equation 3.0 and click OK.
Style
Proprietary names of drugs or chemicals may not appear in the title but may be used in conjunction with the generic name where the substance is first mentioned in the abstract, and again where first mentioned in the body of the article. Thereafter, use only the generic name.
The basis for decisions on viral nomenclature is Stedman's ICTV Virus Words. Symbols and common abbreviations should be spelled out the first time they appear in the abstract, the text, figures legends, and tables. Such abbreviations should conform to the AMA Style Manual. The inventing of abbreviations is not encouraged. No sentence may begin with an abbreviation.
Show superscripts, references and subscripts using numbers directly following any punctuation marks. Indicate italics by using italic type, or use the character palette on the Manuscript Central website.
See formatting and style glossary below for more complete information and specific examples of usage.
Ethical guidelines
Experimental investigation papers must state in the Material and Methods section that 1) informed consent was obtained from all human adult participants and from parents or legal guardians of minors, with the name of the appropriate institutional review board having approved the project, and/or 2) the maintenance and care of experimental animals complies with the National Institutes of Health guidelines for the humane use of laboratory animals, or equivalent country authority or agency.
Page charges
Page charges for manuscripts submitted by a Corresponding Author who is not a current member of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene are $125 per printed page, or portion thereof. Society members are entitled to a discount and will pay $100 per page. The Journal publishes articles on a pre-paid basis and does not accept institutional or governmental purchase orders. Page charges are calculated and paid upon receipt of galley proofs.There are no page charges for Letters to the Editor or Book and CD Reviews.
Manuscripts that are clinical in nature may qualify for a partial or full waiver of publication charges. Authors who would like their papers to be considered for a waiver should include this request in their cover letter or in the comments to the Editor upon submission. We do not grant any waivers until a paper is accepted. These funds are limited and are provided by the American Committee on Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers' Health (ACCTMTH), the clinical branch of the ASTMH.
Journal policy on open access
Effective July 1, 2008, the journal is allowing authors the option of making their manuscripts freely available online immediately upon publication for an additional fee. Authors may elect to pay a flat fee of $2,500 instead of the usual page charges. This fee does not include the additional charges for printed color figures, which must be paid regardless of whether authors choose the Open Access option. However, authors who elect to pay the Open Access fee may publish their figures in color online at no additional charge. Authors who choose to pay the usual page charges instead of the Open Access fee must honor the journal's twelve-month embargo policy on current content and not deposit their paper in a public repository without permission from the journal office.
This policy applies only to papers published in the July 2008 issue or later. Authors may elect this option on the page charge form when they receive their galley proofs, or they may notify the journal office
of their decision.
Journal policy on depositing NIH-funded manuscripts in PubMedCentral and other repositories
On January 11, 2008, the National Institutes of Health (揘IH? adopted a revised Public Access Policy for peer-reviewed journal articles reporting research supported in whole or in part by NIH funds. Under the revised policy, the grantee shall ensure that a copy of the author抯 final manuscript, including any revisions made during the peer review process, is electronically submitted to the National Library of Medicine抯 PubMed Central (揚MC? archive and that the person submitting the manuscript will designate a time not later than 12 months after publication at which NIH may make the full text of the manuscript publicly accessible in PMC. For more information and to deposit your manuscript in this database, visit http://publicaccess.nih.gov.
All articles published in 2010 or later will be deposited in PubMedCentral by the journal office. Open access articles will be made freely available on PMC at the time of publication. All other articles will be deposited in PMC but will not be available until the 12-month embargo period has expired.
AJTMH requests that authors of manuscripts published BEFORE 2010 do the following to comply with this policy:
1. Deposit the FINAL published paper in PubMed Central, not your author manuscript or galley proofs.
2. Request that PubMed Central honor the journal's 12-month embargo on free access to current content, unless you have paid the author open access fee, in which case your manuscript may be deposited upon publication.
If the author pays the open access fee, the journal office will deposit the final version directly in PubMedCentral and it will be made freely available at the time of publication. These articles will be licensed using the Creative Commons, Attribution, Non-commercial license which permits others to use, reproduce, disseminate, or display the open access version of this article for non-commercial purposes provided that the original authorship is properly and fully attributed. This policy is fully compliant with the requirements of funders such as the Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council and HHMI.
If an author does not pay the open access fee but wants the journal office to deposit their article, the author should inform the journal office of this request at the time of publication. The journal office can deposit the article but will put a twelve-month hold on the release to coincide with the journal's embargo on free access to current content.
Please note that this only applies to NIH-funded, Wellcome Trust-funded, or other research funded by an agency that has repository guidelines for its authors. If you are not sure, please check with the agency that funded your research to see if they require a manuscript deposit in their repository.
SPECIFIC MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES
FIRST MANUSCRIPT PAGE
The running heads are flush left. The title, authors, and authors? affiliations are centered. The abstract is flush left, and immediately follows the authors? affiliations with one space between.
Left running head: All capital letters (All Caps); last name of first author plus "and Others"
e.g.,
LRH: BOCKARIE AND OTHERS
Right running head: All Caps; this is the running head for your ~50-character short title
e.g.,
RRH: PCR-ELISA FOR THE DETECTION OF W. BANCROFTI
The Title is centered, Roman type (no bold, no italics except for Genus and species, which are italicized.) No punctuation at the end.
e.g.,
Application of a Polymerase Chain Reaction-ELISA to Detect Wuchereria Bancrofti in Pools of Wild-Caught Anopheles Punctulatus in a Filariasis Control Area in Papua New Guinea
Authors' names are centered. Commas are used throughout except at the end of a line. Do not split a name to the next line. Please be sure to use include the first and last name of each author. Middle names or initials are optional.
e.g.,
Moses J. Bockarie, Peter Fischer, Steven A. Williams, Peter A. Zimmerman, Lysaght Griffin, Michael P. Alpers, and James W. Kazura
Authors' locations/affiliations: departments, institutions, city, state, and/or country are spelled out in full, in italics using Title Case without any numbers. A semi-colon separates each address. Do not split a phrase to the next line. There is no punctuation after the last author?s location. Do not use any symbols such as asterisks after authors? names to refer to the specific affiliations of authors. Just list the institutions in the order that the author is listed. If two authors are at the same place, it is listed only once, in the order of the first author mentioned. If the country is the United States of America, it is not included in the address because AJTMH is published in the USA. Other countries are spelled out in full with no abbreviations.
e.g.,
Papua New Guinea Institute of Medical Research, Madang, Papua New Guinea; Clark Science Center, Department of Biological Sciences, Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts; Molecular and Cellular Biology Program, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts; Division of Geographic Medicine, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, University Hospitals of Cleveland, Cleveland, Ohio
(Note that the authors' addresses, complete with street and room numbers, postal codes, phone, FAX, and e-mail are found only at the end of the text in the Authors? addresses section of the paper, just above the References.)
TEXT
Format
Please provide the following (in order):
- A concise abstract (150 words maximum)
- An introductory paragraph
- Separate sections for Materials and Methods
- Results
- Discussion
- Separate paragraphs for acknowledgments, listing of financial support, all authors' detailed addresses including telephone and FAX numbers, a shipping address for reprints, if reprints are being ordered
- A list of the references cited.
REFERENCES
References should be cited by consecutive numbers in the text. The numbers should appear in superscripts, not in parentheses, and should appear after any closing punctuation. Abbreviate journal names in the style used by the National Library of Medicine. References should be from peer-reviewed publications that are generally available to the readers of the Journal.
Abstracts, proceedings, works in progress, theses, dissertations, and manuscripts submitted but not yet accepted for publication are not acceptable to cite as references. If it is necessary to cite information from these sources, they should be cited in the text only, in parentheses as follows: (Jamestown JW and others, unpublished data).
Format. All authors must be listed; never use "et al." or the phrase "or others." Authors are indicated by their last names followed by a space and their initial(s) (with no period/full stop). Periods are not used after abbreviated words in journal titles. Authors? names are separated by commas only, and is not used. The year of publication follows the final name, preceded by a comma. Double check all information including the correct abbreviation of the journal cited. Note that the abbreviated journal, the volume number, and the colon that follows are in italics. There is a space after the colon, before the page numbers. The page numbers are written out completely: 472--476 (not 473--76).
See pages 28--51 in the American Medical Association (AMA) Manual of Style (9th Edition) for various types of reference sources so that you can incorporate them and then modify the formatting for AJTMH as follows:
Authors' names: Never use et al. in the references or text. See the following examples:

At AJTMH, contrary to AMA Style, the year of publication always follows the comma after the last author?s initial(s).
Consult Index Medicus for the correct abbreviation of the journal cited. The journal abbreviation, the volume number, and the colon are all italicized. The colon is followed by a space, then the page numbers. The page numbers are both written in their entirety, separated by an en dash which you represent in your manuscript by two hyphens.
FORMATTING AND STYLE GLOSSARY
Abbreviations and acronyms. The first time it appears, a word or phrase is spelled out in its entirety preceding the abbreviation or acronym which appears in parentheses. The first instance of the acronym is designated in both the abstract and in the text, the first time it appears and for each figure and table, using the acronym subsequently. Try not to use an abbreviation at the beginning of a sentence or as part of a heading.
Plurals of acronyms have no apostrophes. STDs. M & Ms.
Commonly used abbreviations:
Injections. IP = intraperitioneal, IV = intravenous, IM = intramuscular
Commas. Always insert a comma before the "and" at the end of a series of three or more items.
Ethical guidelines. Ethical considerations must be addressed in the materials and methods section. 1) Please state that informed consent was obtained from all human adult participants and from the parents or legal guardians of minors. Include the name of the appropriate institutional review board that approved the project. 2) Indicate in the text that the maintenance and care of experimental animals complies with National Institutes of Health guidelines for the humane use of laboratory animals, or those of your country's equivalent authority or agency.
Formatting. Use Times New Roman with the font size of 12 throughout. The entire manuscript, including figure legends and tables, should be double spaced (not 1.5 spaces, not a variation such as "equivalent") with one inch margins all around, flush left with a ragged right margin even though when printed in the journal it will be single-spaced and justified?the printer sets all of that up for printing from the manuscript format. Insert only one space between words and sentences, including after a colon (except for the colon after the Acknowledgments, Financial support, Disclaimers, Authors? addresses, and Reprint request sections at the end of the text, just before the REFERENCES).
Headings.
A primary heading is used for the main sections and is centered alone in all capital letters, no bold or italics.
A secondary heading is indented, bold, sentence case, and ends with a period. The text follows on the same line after one space.
A tertiary heading is indented, in sentence case, italicized, and ends with a period.
Sentences and paragraphs. Indent the first sentence of each paragraph. Try not to use an abbreviation at the beginning of a sentence.
Hyphens and dashes.
Dashes. Insert 2 hyphens (--) between numbers or other cases whenever it means "to" as in 4 to 6 years (4--6 years, 1994--1999), The printer will translate -- into an "en dash" [?] which is longer than a hyphen. All you need to do is insert 2 hyphens. The proofreader?s mark for an en dash is - . On the rare occasion that you want to put a long dash between the phrases in a sentence for emphasis, use three hyphens (---) to indicate an "em dash" [?]. There are no spaces before or after the hyphen, the en dash, and the em dash. Do not use a -- for the "to" in ratios or mathematical formulas; they require a virgule or forward slash mark.
Hyphens. Insert a hyphen between words that together modify a noun (T-cell group, but group of T cells) or when an adverb and other word modify a noun.
half-life
antimalarial
Italics. Italicize the words and phrases in your text directly, do not underline. There is no need to both italicize and underline.
Italicize in vitro, in vivo.
Nomenclature. Genus and species. Genus is spelled out completely the first time an organism is mentioned in the abstract, the text, and in every figure and table. If you are discussing several different species within a genus, so that the genus is the same for each species mentioned, spell the genus + species out in full the first time each new species is mentioned, even if it seems redundant. After the first time, use the genus abbreviation with a period. Genus and species are always italicized. Do not italicize "spp." or "sensu stricto" or "sensu lato" that may follow genus and species. Genus is italicized when it appears alone (i.e., Plasmodium infections. Adjectives such as plasmodial are not italicized.). Species, when used as in the text is not italicized (i.e., falciparum malaria).
Numbers and symbols. Insert one space between the number and the units of measure, no space between the numeral and the % sign. Add a space before and after the ≥, ≤, and = symbols.
Parentheses and brackets. Parentheses enclose brackets. In a sentence, the punctuation comes after the close-parentheses symbol.
Quotation Marks. Use quotation marks sparingly, only when absolutely necessary for clarity and to designate a particular, unusual use of a word. When redefining a word, use the quotes only in the first instance in both the text and abstract. Subsequent use does not require quotes, as you have already alerted the reader to make the mental adjustment.
References and citations
Note: Published abstracts; published or unpublished proceedings, works in progress, theses, and dissertations; and manuscripts submitted but not yet accepted for publication are not acceptable references to cite. If it is necessary to cite information from these sources, cite them in the text only, in parentheses as follows: (Jamestown JW and others, unpublished data).
See pp. 28--51 in the AMA Manual of Style [9th Edition] for expressing various sources of reference. Modify the formatting for AJTMH as follows:
Authors' names. Never use et al. in the references or text. All authors must be listed in the following format:
First author?s last name (no comma) single space, his or her initial(s) without periods (no full stops until after the year), comma, single space, next author(s) in the same format until all have been listed. After the final author?s initial(s), comma, single space, insert the year of publication, period (full stop).
Year of publication. At AJTMH, contrary to AMA Style, the year of publication always follows the comma after the last author?s initial(s).
Journal abbreviation. Consult Index Medicus for the correct abbreviation of the journal cited. The journal abbreviation, the volume number, and the colon are all italicized. The colon is followed by a space before the page numbers. The page numbers are both written in their entirety, separated by 2 hyphens (en dash).
Spacing between sentences. Use one space only.
Spelling. Use American spelling except in the references where spelling and punctuation follow the original citation.
Chagas disease. No apostrophe as per the current CDC standard usage. Bed net.
Possum is the correct word for opossum in Australia.
Superscripts and subscripts. Use your software to create a true superscript or subscript. Insert superscripts correctly, after the punctuation with no space in between.2,3,6--8 Here, there are no spaces between the reference number 2, the comma, the 3, or the 6--8 of the superscript. For serial references of 3 or more, insert 2 hyphens between numbers. For example: Other studies reported that opossums usually inspect triatomes both manually and visually before ingesting them.1, 6--8,11 For subscripts follow same procedure, check the Subscript box.
Symbols. A minus sign itself should be used, not a hyphen.
Time. Time of day. Use AM and PM.
Time. sec = second(s), msec = millisecond(s); hr = hour(s); yr = year(s); d = day(s).
Plurals of years have no apostrophes. 1940s. 1800s.
Units of measure. Abbreviate in the Methods section, but not in the abstract, introduction and results (unless describing a procedure), and discussion.
Abbreviations.
Weights and measures.
g = gram and is always lower case, mg, μg. kilogram = kg.
L = liter. Use the word ?liter? for liter when it is mentioned alone in the text. Use a capital L for liter in the instance of g/L and in conjunction with m (milliliter = mL), μ (microliter = μL), and d (deciliter = dL).
Note that if designations are followed by numerals or letters, capitalize them: i.e., when particular day(s), week(s), site(s), lane(s), subject(s), group(s) and similar designations are followed by numbers or letters (Day 6; Weeks 1--7. Site 15, Lanes A--D; Subjects A2 and A5, Genotype A). When designating without a following number, use the third day, the fifth week, second subject, etc.
