We are pleased to announce that Prof. Yasuhiro Suzuki, of University of Kentucky College of Medicine, will take over as co-Chief Editor of Parasitology International, when current co-editor Fidel Zavala steps down. Prof. Suzuki ‘s work is focussed on the mechanisms of the host immune responses to pathogens and the immunopathogenesis of infectious diseases. In particular he works with Toxoplasma gondii. We welcome him to the journal and also thank Prof. Zavala for the great work he has put into the journal over the past 3 years.

Biological Control - new Editors on board

After serving more than 20 years with the journal External link  Biological Control, Harry Kaya, will step down as Editor-in-Chief from the end of this year.

Malaria Nexus

We are pleased to announce that External linkMalaria Nexus has now over 1000 registrants since it's launch in August this year!


Featured within the site is the latest published research from our leading Parasitology, Entomology and Tropical Medicine journals, including articles from External link  The Lancet Infectious Diseases, External linkInternational Journal for Parasitology, External linkActa Tropica, External linkTransactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and many others.

Malaria Nexus features interviews with editors of our leading journals, and with authors of key papers, who can expand on their research and their future research plans. In our latest downloadable podcast interview Andrew Richford talks with Professor Rais Akhtar, from the Centre for the Study of Regional Development, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi in India who is a world leading authority on malaria in South Asia and has a particular interest in the strategies of controlling diseases in urban environments. Read more about the interview External link  here.

If you would like to make a suggestion for a future interviewee, or would like the opportunity to discuss your own work, please contact Dale Seaton at malarianexus@elsevier.com

We hope that you find Malaria Nexus a useful knowledge base for your malaria research.
