Abstract
The Sri Lankan Journal of Infectious Diseases (SLJID) is an open access, peer-reviewed, biannual journal published by the Sri Lankan Society for Microbiology (SSM). The Journal considers articles from all professional disciplines involved in the field of infectious diseases. The Journal has been in publication since 2011, is included in the DOAJ since 2018 and is a member of COPE since 2021. The SLJID practices a double-blind peer review policy. From 2022, the SLJID publishes accepted manuscripts online immediately after copy-editing, enabling rapid dissemination of scientific knowledge. The published articles are subsequently compiled into two issues in April and October. The SLJID does not charge any article processing or publication fee.
Highlights
Genetics based diagnostic tools such as PCR and its variations such as Real Time PCR and multiplex PCR have been optimized for diagnosis of almost all parasitic diseases
Even in the local setting, PCR based diagnostic testing is available for parasitic infections such as malaria, leishmaniasis and toxoplasmosis and for several others at research level
The developments in the field of genetics coupled with advances in computing platforms and big data analytics has in turn led to an era of omics which is at the disposal of parasitologists
Summary
Genetics based diagnostic tools such as PCR and its variations such as Real Time PCR and multiplex PCR have been optimized for diagnosis of almost all parasitic diseases. The era of genetics and genomics and its impact on parasitic diseases Even in the local setting, PCR based diagnostic testing is available for parasitic infections such as malaria, leishmaniasis and toxoplasmosis and for several others at research level.
