Parasite Immunology

Aims & Scope

Parasite Immunology is an international journal devoted to research on all aspects of parasite immunology in human and animal hosts.

Emphasis has been placed on how hosts control parasites, and the immunopathological reactions which take place in the course of parasitic infections.

The Journal welcomes original work on all parasites, particularly human parasitology, helminths, protozoa and ectoparasites.
