Abstract Guidelines
The recommended abstract length is between 150 and 300 words, except for the Student Paper Competition and Latin American Student Competition, which are 75 words. Please do not send supplemental materials (photos, articles, or reports) with your abstract. These will not be seen by the program review committee. Make sure you submit your abstract with the proper capitalization, italicizing, and abbreviations! Read the instructions below. Italicizing: You must italicize all scientific names (e.g. Aedes aegypti)!

Abbreviations: The first time you use a species name, spell out and italicize both the genus and the species. Every instance, thereafter, abbreviate the genus (E.G. An. For Anopheles, Ae for Aedes). Use d for days/day, min for minutes, yr for year/years, h for hours/hour, sec or s for seconds. If you are not sure of how to abbreviate something, there are many resources available online. That latest edition of Scientific Style and Format is also a great resource for those able to purchase a copy.

Grammar and Spelling: Please read and reread your abstract carefully to make sure you used proper spelling and grammar. The primary abstract submitter will receive an email message confirming the receipt of the abstract. Please notify your authors/co-authors that the confirmation was received. All papers submitted will be reviewed by the AMCA Program Chair at the close of the paper submission period.
