First published in 1963, Advances in Parasitology contains comprehensive and up-to-date reviews on all areas of interest in contemporary parasitology. The series includes medical studies of parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes. The series also contains reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which help to shape current thinking and applications. The 2014 impact factor is 6.226.

• Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field of parasitology
• Contains contributions from leading authorities and industry experts

PhD students, professors, scientists, health workers, government officers, and policy makers at various levels.
