Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology (ATM) and the Annals of Tropical Paediatrics (ATP) have been published by Maney under licence since 2002.
Under the new arrangements Maney will retain the services of the two members of staff hitherto employed by the LSTM, Dr Keith Wallbanks, editor of ATM, and Vanessa Coulter, editor of ATP.
Mark Simon, Maney’s Publishing Director, has worked with the LSTM to complete the agreement and commented: “We are delighted at the addition of these two highly-regarded journals to our health sciences list, and to welcome Keith and Vanessa to the Maney staff to continue this valued partnership.”
Over the last century the Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology has evolved from a house journal of the School to become one of the world's leading serial publications in its field. The main aims of the current editors, however, remain that of the journal's first editor, Ronald Ross: simply to make the results of the relevant research more widely known, to encourage those who feel discouraged, and to strengthen the links between the many scientific communities involved in tropical medicine, global parasitology and medical entomology.
First published in 1981, Annals of Tropical Paediatrics continues to provide a highly respected international forum for medical problems, achievements and research in paediatrics and child health in the tropics and sub-tropics. Published quarterly, the journal presents peer-reviewed papers that cover the whole range of diseases in childhood, and the social, cultural and geographical settings in which they occur. The journal caters for everyone with an interest in tropical child health, including specialists in tropical medicine and infectious diseases, parasitologists and paediatricians.

About LSTM
The LSTM says: “Founded in 1898, LSTM was the first institution in the world dedicated to research and teaching in tropical medicine. Today it trains over 500 students from more than 70 countries. As a centre of excellence, LSTM, through the creation of effective links with governments, organisations and institutions and by responding to the health needs of communities, aims to promote improved health, particularly for people of the less developed countries in the tropics and sub-tropics.”
