Pharmacological studies, molecular biological studies, biological studies, physiological studies, pathological studied, gene studies on treatment and management for these alarming global emergence and re-emergences of infectious diseases are our focuses, too.

Instructions to Authors
Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine is sponsored by the Hainan Medical University and is aimed to set up an academic communication platform for Chinese and the rest of the world on tropical medicine and other related fields. We hope that the publication of our new journal will bring us a great opportunity for international academic communication and research. Furthermore, we wish to enhance the competency of preventing and curing tropical and related diseases in China and Asia-Pacific region. The journal invites concise reports of original research in all areas of tropical medicine and related fields, both experimental and clinical, including: modern, traditional and epidemiological studies from any part of the world. Review articles and mini-reviews (no more than 4 printed pages), based primarily on the author(s) own research on internationally important topics are welcome. Short communications and letters to the editor are also welcome.

Photographs need to be cropped sufficiently to prevent human subjects being recognized (or an eye bar should be used). Animal experiments should be in accordance with the instructions for the care and use provided by the institution at which the research was carried out.
Authors All authors should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content. Written approval signed by all authors should be presented with the manuscript.
Manuscript The manuscript should be submitted online through our e-mail system and later on through our website (under construction). The text should be double spaced and have wide margins.

The title must be informative, specific, and concise. Serialization of articles into parts is not permitted. Such articles may be submitted independently with self-sufficient titles.
Keywords and abstract Please provide 3-10 keywords or phrases for indexing purposes, using terms from the latest US National Library of Medicine. If MeSH terms are not available, other appropriate terms may be used. Full-length manuscript submission should include an abstract of up to 250 words in a structured form, consisting of: Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusion.
Main text The text should include the following sections: Introduction summarizes the rationale, provides a concise research background (not an exhaustive review) and states in one sentence the objective of the study. Please do not include any results or the conclusions of the study. Materials and Methods should provide technical information about the study. There is no need to describe methodological details that have been published previously. Specifications (including the manufacturer, city, and the country) should be given for the main drugs, chemicals, and instruments. Indicate the statistical methods used and identify statistical significance using superscripts (* and **) following the data (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). Results are the findings, using SI units. In a sample, the number of effective digits is determined by the variation within the sample, that is, one-third of the standard deviation. Digits may be separated into groups of three by a small space. Discussion deals with the interpretation of the results and their comparison with those of other studies. There is no need to: repeat the results, review literature, textbook knowledge or cite references that do not have a close relationship with the present result. End with a brief conclusion linking back to the aim of the study.
Abbreviations The use of abbreviations, except for units of measure, is discouraged. At the first appearance in the abstract and the text, abbreviations should be preceded by words for which they stand.
Tables Tables must be concise and cited consecutively using Arabic numerals in the text (Table 1, Table 2...etc.). Each table should be typed on a separate sheet.

Micrographs or other glossy photographs must be of the highest quality. Use standard symbols: ○, ●, ×, □, ■, △, ▲. Freehand or typewritten lettering is unacceptable. If a figure comprises more than one glossy photograph, these should be marked A, B, C...etc. Figure legends should be marked clearly with their correspond letters. Legends should contain sufficient detail to permit figure interpretation without reference to the text. Scale markers should be indicated in the photographs. Color plates are also welcome. The choice of cover art illustration will be made by the Editor.
References The Journal advocates the citation of new papers; old references are better replaced with updated ones. The authors are responsible for the correctness of references. References are numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear in the text. Citations should be labeled with square bracket and should appear in front of the period or comma at the end of the sentence/clause. All references should be cited. Unpublished data, personal communications, abstracts at meetings and manuscripts submitted for publication are not acceptable as references. Information from such sources may be cited in the text with the sources given in parentheses. References should be listed in a numerical order in the Reference section according to Vancouver Style. Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the list of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus or MEDLINE (www.nlm.nih.gov).
