Comparative Parasitology

Aims & Scope

Comparative Parasitology (continuing the Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington in its 67th volume) focuses on parasitological research of a comparative nature, emphasizing taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography, evolution, faunal survey, and biological inventory within a morphological and/or molecular context.

The scope of Comparative Parasitology extends to all parasitic faunas, including helminths, protistans and arthropods.
