Veterinary Parasitology (journal)

Veterinary Parasitology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to the publication of original research and reviews concerning all aspects of parasitology as it relates to animal health. The journal covers parasites affecting domesticated animals (including livestock and companion animals), wildlife, and zoological specimens.

Key areas of focus within Veterinary Parasitology include:

• Parasite Biology: Studies on the morphology, physiology, genetics, life cycles, and ecology of parasites.
• Parasite Epidemiology: Investigations into the prevalence, distribution, and transmission dynamics of parasites in animal populations.
• Pathogenesis and Immunology: Research on the mechanisms by which parasites cause disease in animals and the host immune responses to parasitic infections.
• Diagnosis: Development and evaluation of diagnostic methods for detecting parasitic infections, including traditional parasitological techniques and molecular assays.
• Treatment and Control: Studies on the efficacy of antiparasitic drugs, vaccines, and other control strategies for managing parasitic infections in animals.
• Antimicrobial Resistance: Research on the emergence and spread of drug resistance in parasitic populations.
• Public Health Significance: Investigations into zoonotic parasites that can be transmitted from animals to humans.

The journal aims to provide a platform for researchers, veterinarians, and other professionals working in the field of veterinary parasitology to disseminate their findings and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in this important area of animal health and welfare. Veterinary Parasitology publishes original research articles, review articles, short communications, and case reports. It is typically indexed in major scientific databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus.
