The Bulletin de la Société de Pathologie Exotique, launched shortly after the creation of the society, publishes scientific articles in French and English as well as meeting reports. Today, it finds itself in its 101st year of publication and is recognized for its impressive collection of tropical medicine archives. A reference for all French-speaking physicians and students, the Bulletin appears five times per year and is indexed in leading international databases such as Medline, Current Contents, Clinical Medicine, Pascal, and CABI Publishing.
Professor Pierre Ambroise-Thomas, President of the Société de Pathologie Exotique, said, "The partnership with Springer should enable us to increase the visibility and distribution of the Bulletin de la Société de Pathologie Exotique while maintaining its scientific standards. All of its articles will be accessible on www.SpringerLink.com, which should increase the number of article views and downloads."
"The Bulletin de la Société de Pathologie Exotique ideally complements our medicine portfolio. It reflects our dynamic publishing approach to scientific information," added Guide Zosimo-Landolfo, CEO of Springer France.
The Société de Pathologie Exotique (SPE) (www.pathexo.fr) was founded in 1908 by Louis-Alphonse Lavaran, Nobel Laureate in Medicine in 1907, for his discovery of the agent causing malaria. It has been located, since its establishment, on the campus of l'Institut Pasteur in Paris. Today it has more than 650 members. The SPE is led by a board of directors which ensures that the objectives defined at the foundation of the society are still met. Its activities focus on the distribution of the Bulletin and organization of annual meetings, regional meetings and theme days, such as the organization of French-language international conferences on tropical medicine.
