Journal Title：Molecular And Biochemical Parasitology

The journal provides a medium for rapid publication of investigations of the molecular biology and biochemistry of parasitic protozoa and helminths and their interactions with both the definitive and intermediate host. The main subject areas covered are:

• the structure, biosynthesis, degradation, properties and function of DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and small molecular-weight substances

• intermediary metabolism and bioenergetics

• drug target characterization and the mode of action of antiparasitic drugs

• molecular and biochemical aspects of membrane structure and function

• host-parasite relationships that focus on the parasite, particularly as related to specific parasite molecules.

• analysis of genes and genome structure, function and expression

• analysis of variation in parasite populations relevant to genetic exchange, pathogenesis, drug and vaccine target characterization, and drug resistance.

• parasite protein trafficking, organelle biogenesis, and cellular structure especially with reference to the roles of specific molecules

• parasite programmed cell death, development, and cell division at the molecular level.

该杂志为快速发表关于寄生原生动物和蠕虫的分子生物学和生物化学及其与最终宿主和中间宿主的相互作用的研究提供了一种媒介。涵盖的主要主题领域是：
