Aims and Scope of Parasites and Vectors
Parasites & Vectors is a peer-reviewed open-access medical journal published by BioMed Central. The journal publishes articles on the biology of parasites, parasitic diseases, intermediate hosts, vectors and vector-borne pathogens. Parasites & Vector was established in 2008 as a merger of Filaria Journal and Kinetoplastid Biology, and its launch Editor-in-Chief was Chris Arme.
