Parasites & Vectors

期刊简介：Parasites & Vectors is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal dealing with the biology of parasites, parasitic diseases, intermediate hosts, vectors and vector-borne pathogens. Manuscripts published in this journal will be available to all worldwide, with no barriers to access, immediately following acceptance. However, authors retain the copyright of their material and may use it, or distribute it, as they wish.Manuscripts on all aspects of the basic and applied biology of parasites, intermediate hosts, vectors and vector-borne pathogens will be considered. In addition to the traditional and well-established areas of science in these fields, we also aim to provide a vehicle for publication of the rapidly developing resources and technology in parasite, intermediate host and vector genomics and their impacts on biological research. We are able to publish large datasets and extensive results, frequently associated with genomic and post-genomic technologies, which are not readily accommodated in traditional journals. Manuscripts addressing broader issues, for example economics, social sciences and global climate change in relation to parasites, vectors and disease control, are also welcomed.

【译文】寄生虫与矢量是一本开放获取、同行评审的在线期刊，涉及寄生虫、寄生虫病、中间宿主、传播者和传播病原体的生物学。该期刊发表的手稿将对全球所有人员开放，接受后立即无障碍访问。然而，作者保留其材料的版权，可以按自己的意愿使用或分发。本期刊将考虑关于寄生虫、中间宿主、传播者和传播病原体的基本和应用生物学的所有方面的手稿。除了这些领域的传统和已建立的科学研究领域外，我们还旨在提供一个平台，用于发表寄生虫、中间宿主和传播者基因组学及其对生物研究影响的快速发展的资源和技术的出版物。我们能够发表大型数据集和广泛的结果，这些结果通常与基因组学和后基因组技术相关，而这些技术在传统期刊中难以容纳。欢迎提交涉及更广泛问题（例如，与寄生虫、传播者和疾病控制相关的经济学、社会科学和全球气候变化）的手稿。
