As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
Announcement: COVID-19 impact on peer review

Kinetoplastid Biology & Disease and Filaria Journal
Parasites & Vectors expands upon the scope of two former BioMed Central publications, Kinetoplastid Biology and Disease and Filaria Journal, both of which ceased publication in December 2007. The full archives of these two journals remain available from the Kinetoplastid Biology and Disease and Filaria Journal websites and PubMed Central.
VIII Parasitology Summer Course (VIII ParSCo)
Residency Course on: Parasites, Arthropod Vectors and Transmitted Pathogens in Eastern Mediterranean Region
VIII ParSCo will run from June 5th to June 14th, 2020.

Introducing graphical abstracts
Parasites & Vectors is happy to announce the introduction of graphical abstracts for all new submissions as of 1 August 2019 as a mandatory feature. A graphical abstract serves to attract readers' attention to the article and will appear underneath the abstract on the website, greatly enhancing the visibility of research. See the journal Submission Guidelines for more information.
Contacting Parasites & Vectors
All enquiries relating to the suitability of new submissions should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief, Professor Aneta Kostadinova, at aneta.kostadinova@gmail.com or aneta.kostadinova@uv.es. For general enquiries, please contact the Editorial Office. Further information on journal sections and contacting Subject Editors may be found here.
