Acta Tropica is an international journal on infectious diseases that covers public health sciences, medical and veterinary entomology, and biomedical research with particular emphasis on topics relevant to human and animal health.Its scope includes the biology of pathogens and vectors, host-parasite relationships, mechanisms of pathogenicity, clinical disease and chemotherapy. We welcome contributions in basic or applied research in disciplines such as epidemiology, disease ecology, diagnostics, interventions and control, drug and insecticide resistance, mathematical modelling, public health and social sciences, climate change, parasite and vector taxonomy, biology, ecology and behaviour, host and parasite genomics, biochemistry, immunology, and vaccine testing.Contributions may be in the form of original research papers, review articles, short communications, opinion articles, or letters to the Editors.Only manuscripts of high scientific significance and innovation will be considered for publication. Criteria for rejection without review:• Out of scope.• Manuscripts of minimal international relevance, including regional reports and studies of local interest.• Case reports.• Parasite and vector control strategies at very early inconclusive laboratory stages of development. For vector control studies, field validation is required.• Field studies not replicated at least over two years. • Studies dealing with natural products (e.g., plant extracts) not characterized from a chemical point of view.• Ethical issues, including plagiarism, submission of the manuscript to multiple journals, and lack of ethical approval where needed.Important Guidelines for AcceptanceEditors and the Editorial Board of Acta Tropica provide the following guidelines to help authors prepare manuscripts of high quality that can be considered for publication. Maximize your chances of acceptance by making sure your manuscript:• Matches the scientific scope of the journal,• Follows the instructions specified in Acta Tropica guide for authors,• Presents results that significantly advance science including innovative new approaches,• Meets quality standards of presentation and literature citation,• Demonstrates potential health or biomedical impact.The above points are critical for the publication of original papers. Be aware Editors carefully evaluate initial manuscript submissions and only those meeting the above criteria will be forwarded to review. If reviewed favourably and the authors seriously address all concerns, then chances of acceptance are increased. Review and Opinion articles may be invited by the Editors in Chief or submitted by authors responding to a recognized need. Reviews are expected to carefully synthesize and discuss the literature and make recommendations to advance respective scientific fields. Reviews and Opinions submitted by authors without research experience on the topic covered by the manuscript will not be considered. Systematic reviews adhering to PRISMA guidelines and meta-analyses are welcome. For any inquiry about Reviews and Opinions please contact our Special Content Editor, Prof. John Beier.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Impact factor: 5.7

Fungal Biology Reviews is an international journal published by the British Mycological Society (est. in 1896), providing a comprehensive platform for high-quality scientific review articles aiming to cover all aspects of fungal biology. Encompassing both fundamental and applied research, the journal welcomes a wide range of areas of research, including fungal diversity, ecology, fitness, evolution, physiology and biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, cell biology, developmental biology, reproduction and interactions such as symbiosis and pathogenesis. It also looks forward to publishing overviews of methodological aspects of fungal biology, for example, fungal genomics and other high-throughput -omic techniques.Fungal Biology Reviews embraces the study of the kingdom of Fungi and diverse organisms that were recognized as fungi, including lichens, microsporidia, and fungi-like protozoans, such as Oomycetes (water molds) or Myxomycetes (slime molds). We welcome submissions based on the canonical model fungi such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Aspergillus nidulans, and Neurospora crassa, and are open to other and newly emerging experimental systems. The journal would like to become a podium where views on fungal biology or new hypotheses in fungal biology are shared in so-called opinion papers.We are ready to consider reviews on plant pathology (and the study of endo- and epiphytes), the rhizosphere, bulk soil microbiology, the impact of climate change, as well as mutualistic and parasitic interactions. We are interested in geomycology, dispersal strategies and adaptations, hyphal and spore biomechanics, and biophysics.Additionally, Fungal Biology Reviews aims to explore topics dealing with all aspects of biotechnology, encompassing novel molecules and products, including the use of fungi for the biological control of pests (biofungicides) and plant growth promotion (biofertilizers), bioremediation, biomineralization, fungal materials, fermentation, fungal cell factories, mycoprotein, fungi for food, medicinal fungi, biodegradation.Finally, the Journal would like to summarize the developments concerning clinical mycology, drug resistance, and antimicrobial compounds, as well as other hazards such as food spoilage and the production of mycotoxins.
