American Association of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) is a professional organization dedicated to the study, prevention, and control of tropical diseases—illnesses common in warm, developing regions like malaria, dengue, and parasitic infections. It brings together scientists, health professionals, and researchers to share knowledge, promote research, and improve global health. Through conferences, publications, and advocacy, ASTMH aims to advance understanding and solutions for tropical diseases, supporting efforts to reduce their impact on vulnerable populations worldwide.
