TropIKA.net
Tropical Diseases Research to Foster Innovation and Knowledge Application


The Primary goals of TropIKA.net are to:
  • Present up-to-date content in a context that makes sense for health researchers and policy makers
  • Improve access to scientific information on infectious diseases of poverty
  • Facilitate broad-based participation of disease-endemic countries in discussions and the formulation of current and emerging research priorities and agenda setting
  • Provide health researchers and decision makers with a comprehensive resource about best practices and authoritative summaries of research findings that have implications for their efforts to meet the challenges of infectious disease control.
  • Be used as an interactive knowledge platform for infectious diseases of poverty at health forums

Partners participating in the TropIKA.net initiative to date:
  • TDR (UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases)
  • BIREME/PAHO/WHO, in Brazil: hosts and manages the portal
  • HINARI: provides access to full text journals in specific countries
  • The Global Heath Library (GHL) and the Virtual Health Library (VHL)
  • Public Library of Science Neglected Tropical Diseases (and PLoS in general) for sharing "open access" scientific content and technology
  • SciELO journals and other open access journals
