Scope
The mission of the section Parasitology is to advance scientific knowledge and foster effective communication among scientists and parasitologists from different backgrounds, for effective translation of discoveries and applications in the field of parasitology.For this section we encourage the submission of original research manuscripts, reviews on the latest developments, and forward-looking perspectives on all topics related to parasites and the interactions between parasites and their hosts, including mechanisms of parasite pathogenesis, experimental (including translational) models of infection, host resistance or susceptibility, parasite immunology, and cellular responses to parasitic infection. Structure and biology of parasites, parasite genomics, parasite genetic diversity and evolution, population genetics and phylogenetic studies are equally important issues, as are development and evaluation of parasitic vaccines, antiparasitic drug discovery, and clinical trials.
The specialty seeks manuscripts on innovative and improved methods that have the potential to advance basic parasitology research. The section especially encourages translational work that uses state-of-the-art approaches to investigate mechanisms of parasitic disease. Cutting-edge clinical research in parasitology, driven by fundamental insights, and interdisciplinary studies on chemotherapy and vaccines are especially of interest.
Since the One Health concept is critical also for parasitology, translational and comparative aspects of the field, especially novel aspects of disease control, are highly welcome.
Also novel findings on vectors of pathogens which are in close relationship to parasites
