The International Journal for Parasitology publishes the results of original research in all aspects
of basic and applied parasitology, including all the fields covered by its Specialist Editors, and ranging from parasites and host-parasite
relationships of intrinsic biological interest to those of social and economic importance in human and veterinary medicine and agriculture.
Original research includes the development of novel and innovative concepts and ideas, as well as experimental and observational science
that raises new hypotheses. Because of its breadth of discipline coverage, the aims and significance of all contributions should be
made clear to readers who are not expert in the particular subject of papers. In applied parasitology, it will tend to favour contributions
of broader significance to the subject rather than narrow, highly specialised applications. The principal form of publication is the
full length paper which contains substantial results from a major program of research. The Journal also provides a medium for the rapid
publication of a limited number of papers reporting highly significant original findings, as Rapid Communications. It also publishes
Thematic Issues incorporating papers on a topical theme and commissions papers with emphasis on shorter, focussed Reviews of topical
issues and strategically important subjects. The Journal encourages critical comment and debate on matters of current controversy in
parasitology via "Current Opinions".
