THE 54TH ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE OF THE MALAYSIAN SOCIETY OF PARASITOLOGY AND TROPICAL MEDICINE 2018

An important indicator of our success is the intellectual reputation established by our flagship publication, Tropical Biomedicine, which is now published four times a year and indexed by both PubMed and Web of Science (ISI) with an impact factor of 0.719 (2016). This journal was started thirty-four years ago in 1984 primarily to encourage local young researchers to publish in the fields of parasitology, entomology, tropical medicine and other aspects of biomedical research. Today this journal has taken an international character and features the works of more senior and established researchers.
