Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study of insects, particularly those that act as vectors for diseases or are of medical and veterinary importance. Research includes the identification, distribution, and ecology of various insect groups such as biting midges (Culicoides), mosquitoes (Aedes, Culex, Anopheles), black flies (Simuliidae), and ticks. The scope also encompasses the transmission of pathogens like arboviruses (EHDV, BTV), protozoan haemoparasites, and bacteria, as well as investigations into insecticide resistance, vector control strategies, and the impact of environmental factors on insect populations and disease dynamics.
