Special Pathogens Journal
(SPJ)
This is the official journal of Special Pathogens Research
Network (Sppare-net) Limited which was designed to be the main forum for
dissemination of information and results of numerous investigations/researches generated
by the network on special pathogens and associated diseases. Official approval
to start the journal was granted by the Supreme Research Council [SRC] of
Spparenet Limited after the Annual General Meeting [AGM] of Spparenet Limited in
October 15, 2012 at the Bushenyi Office, Uganda.

Guidelines for authors:
Special pathogens Journal SPJ will
accept for consideration previously unpublished and original articles about
diagnosis, prevention, management and control of diseases associated with the
following microorganisms hereafter called special pathogens which includes but
not limited to: Arbo-virusis, Hemorrhagic-fever-virusis, Rabies-virusis and West-Nile- viruses;
Legionella, Rickettsia, Acinetobacter, Chlamydia, Vibrio, Non-tuberculosis
Mycobacteria and Non-Typhoidal Salmonella; Soil transmitted Helminthes,
Schistosomes, Trypanosomes and other agents of neglected tropical diseases
and opportunistic infections due to Candida
species, Cryptococcus species, Histoplasma species and Aspergilus species.
Scope:
The Special pathogens Journal SPJ will
accept for consideration manuscripts which:
1.
Provides answers to unanswered
public health, Socio-demographic, socio-economic, Biomedical, Pathological and
Clinical questions regarding the transmission dynamics and population structure
of special pathogens involved in tropical diseases.
2.
Describes innovative ways for
early detection (Diagnostic tools), prevention (Vaccine) and control
(management) of disease associated with special pathogens
3.
Outlines the role of vectors in
the transmission of special pathogens and associated diseases
4.
Elucidates the science behind
host-microbial interactions that will ultimately improve current knowledge on
diagnosis prevention and control of diseases associated with special pathogens
5.
Illuminates the molecular and
phenotypic markers/predictors of host colonization/infections with special
pathogens and how this knowledge will lead to effective forecast prevention and
control of diseases associated with special pathogens.
6.
Explains diagnostic approaches
leading to better prevention and control of special pathogens including but not
limited to: new media discovery or improvement of existing ones, genomics of
diseases, population genetics and development of rapid diagnostic sticks.
7.
Highlights modern approaches in
the use of immune-, chemo-, radio, bio, herbal-therapies for prevention and
control diseases associated with special
pathogens
Prior to publication, all manuscripts,
with the exception of Editorials and Letters to the Editors, undergo peer
review. The Editorial Board may decline a paper on the basis of internal review
and rapidly return the manuscript, usually within three weeks For a detailed authors guide please click here...
