Journal Title：Parasites & Vectors

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.

Parasites & Vectors 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、媒介和媒介传播病原体的生物学。在本期刊上发表的手稿将在被接受后立即向全世界提供，没有访问障碍。但是，作者保留其材料的版权，并可根据需要使用或分发。

将考虑有关寄生虫、中间宿主、媒介和媒介传播病原体的基础和应用生物学各个方面的手稿。除了这些领域的传统和成熟的科学领域外，我们还旨在提供一种工具，用于发布在寄生虫、中间宿主和载体基因组学方面快速发展的资源和技术及其对生物研究的影响。我们能够发布大型数据集和广泛的结果，通常与基因组和后基因组技术相关，这些在传统期刊中不容易容纳。涉及更广泛问题的手稿，例如与寄生虫、媒介和疾病控制有关的经济学、社会科学和全球气候变化，也受到欢迎。
