Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study of parasites and their hosts, including protozoan parasites like Trypanosoma brucei and Apicomplexa, as well as ectoparasitic mites such as Varroa destructor and disease vectors like ticks and mosquitoes. Research areas include antigenic variation, host-parasite coevolution, resistance mechanisms in hosts like honey bees, the evolution of mitochondrial genomes in parasites, and the sensory biology and behavior of vectors. The journal also covers strategies for parasite control, such as targeted antiparasitic treatments and the potential of gene drives for vector control.
