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

Parasitology welcomes submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Case Report, Clinical Trial, Correction, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review, Systematic Review and Technology and Code.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Parasitology, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Parasitology will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Veterinary Science.
