Open access publisher BioMed Central, US, has announced the launch of a new, broad-focus journal, Parasites & Vectors. Chris Arme, Past-President of the British Society for Parasitology, will serve as editor-in-chief of the journal.
An open access, peer-reviewed online journal, Parasites & Vectors will report on the biology of parasites, parasitic diseases, intermediate hosts and vectors. The journal will also address broader issues like economics, social sciences and global climate change in relation to parasites, vectors and disease control.
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. Authors working in the areas covered by these journals are encouraged to submit their work to Parasites & Vectors. The full archives of these two journals remain available from the Kinetoplastid Biology and Disease and Filaria Journal websites and PubMed Central.
