Parasitology is a leading international journal publishing high-quality original research and reviews on all aspects of the study of parasites and their interactions with their hosts and the environment. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including molecular parasitology, cell biology, immunology, host-parasite interactions, parasite genomics and evolution, epidemiology, and control strategies for parasitic diseases. We welcome submissions that advance our understanding of parasite biology and contribute to the development of new diagnostic, therapeutic, and prophylactic measures. Parasitology is committed to publishing rigorous and impactful research that will be of interest to a wide audience of scientists and clinicians working in the field of parasitology and related disciplines.
