This journal is concerned with those aspects of helminthology, protozoology and entomology which are of interest to animal health investigators,
veterinary practitioners and others with a special interest in parasitology. Papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of
disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites in all domesticated animals, fall within the scope of
the journal.
Parasitological studies on laboratory animals fall within the scope of the journal only if they provide a reasonably
close model of a disease of domestic animals. Additionally the journal will consider papers relating to wildlife species where they may
act as disease reservoirs to domestic animals, or as a zoonotic reservoir. Problems of game animals which may be clinical research papers,
but occasionally unique case histories, may also be published. Papers dealing exclusively with the taxonomy of parasites do not fall
within the scope of the journal.
Studies on rickettsial disease organisms (Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Eperythrozoon) will be considered
for publication in Veterinary Parasitology, but only if the paper deals with vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals,
or if zoonotic. Studies on Rickettsia per se will not be accepted. Papers of geographically limited (local) interest which are not of
interest to an international audience will not be accepted.
Circumstances relating to animal experimentation must meet the International
Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences.
