Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on parasitic infections in various hosts, including humans, livestock, and wild animals. Studies investigate the prevalence, molecular detection, and phylogenetic diversity of parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii, Anaplasma spp., Giardia duodenalis, Trypanosoma spp., Hepatozoon spp., and Leishmania. The research also explores potential antiparasitic agents, including herbal extracts and microalgae biocompounds, and examines the impact of parasitic infections on host health and productivity. Sociodemographic and environmental factors influencing disease transmission are also considered.
