International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance

• ISSN: 2211-3207
• 5 Year impact factor: 3.7
• Impact factor: 4.1

Sponsored by the Australian Society for ParasitologyThe International Journal for Parasitology – Drugs and Drug Resistance is one of a series of specialist, open access journals launched by the International Journal for Parasitology . It publishes the results of original research, as well as review articles, in the area of anti-parasite drug identification, development and evaluation, and parasite drug resistance. The journal also covers research into natural products as anti-parasitic agents, and bioactive parasite products. Studies can be aimed at unicellular or multicellular parasites of human or veterinary importance.A list showing the types of articles that are considered is included below. Original research includes the development of novel and innovative concepts and ideas, as well as experimental and observational science that raises new hypotheses. Because of its breadth of organism coverage, all contributions should include relevant information about the parasite of interest in order to be comprehensible to non-experts in the particular subject of the articles. The principal forms of publication are full-length articles which contain substantial results from a major program of research, or reviews on topical issues and strategically important subjects. The journal also accepts brief reports that have similar subject scope as the full-length article, but do not merit a full-length publication.In addition, the journal provides a medium for highlighting selected articles reporting highly significant original findings, as Editor's Choice Manuscripts. The journal encourages critical comment and debate on matters of current controversy in the area of parasite drug resistance and anti-parasite drugs via "Current Opinions".This title is fully open access and therefore funded not through library subscription payments but through author fees. If you would like your article to be published open access, but you genuinely cannot afford these fees, then individual waiver requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and may be granted in cases of genuine need. Priority for this waiver programme will be given to applications by authors from countries eligible for the Research4Life programme (see http://www.research4life.org/institutions.html).Types of articles considered:Compound library screening for inhibitors against enzymes or whole parasitesDrug target validation (chemical and/or genetic)Drug target identification (must include some inhibitor studies rather than characterisation of an enzyme, for example)Drug structure-activity relationship studiesMechanisms of drug action and resistanceReports of the development of drug resistance both in the field and laboratoryStudies on drug toxicity to the host (either on single host cells or whole organism)Reports on toxicity in the fieldComputational approaches to drug discovery or drug-target identificationDevelopment of assays directed at screening for inhibitorsDrug combination studiesNatural products as anti-parasitic agentsBioactive products produced by parasitesUse of live parasites as immunomodulatory agentsEpidemiological aspects of the emergence and spread of parasite drug resistanceHuman clinical trialsThe other specialist title in the series is International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife .

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife

• ISSN: 2213-2244
• 5 Year impact factor: 2.1
• Impact factor: 2

Sponsored by the Australian Society for ParasitologyThe International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife (IJP-PAW) publishes the results of original research on parasites of all wildlife, invertebrate and vertebrate. This includes free-ranging,wild populations, semi-domesticated species (e.g. reindeer) and farmed populations of recently domesticated or wild-captured species (e.g. cultured fishes). Submissions describing studies on captive wildlife can be considered if they include relevant ecological, clinical, or epidemiological aspects. Articles on all aspects of wildlife parasitology are welcomed including taxonomy, evolutionary biology, biodiversity and distribution, ecology and epidemiology, population biology and host-parasite relationships. The impact of parasites on the health and conservation of wildlife is seen as an important area covered by the journal especially the potential role of environmental factors, for example, climate. Also important to the journal is One Health and the nature of interactions between wildlife, people and domestic animals, including disease emergence and zoonoses.The principal form of publication is the full-length article which contains substantial, original research. The journal also accepts brief reports that have similar subject scope as the full-length article, but do not merit a full-length publication. In addition, the journal commissions articles with emphasis on shorter, focused reviews of topical and emerging issues as well as strategically important subjects. The journal encourages critical comment and debate on matters of current controversy in the area of parasites and wildlife via "Current Opinions".This title is fully open access and therefore funded not through library subscription payments but through author fees. If you would like your article to be published open access, but you genuinely cannot afford these fees, then individual waiver requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and may be granted in cases of genuine need. Priority for this waiver programme will be given to applications by authors from countries eligible for the Research4Life programme (see http://www.research4life.org/institutions.html).The other specialist title in the series is International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance .

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases

• ISSN: 1877-959X
• 5 Year impact factor: 3.1
• Impact factor: 3.1

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases is an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal. It publishes original research papers, short communications, state-of-the-art mini-reviews, letters to the editor, clinical-case studies, announcements of pertinent international meetings, opinion papers and editorials. The journal covers a broad spectrum and brings together various disciplines, for example, zoology, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, mathematical modelling, veterinary and human medicine. Multidisciplinary approaches and the use of conventional and novel methods/methodologies (in the field and in the laboratory) are crucial for deeper understanding of the natural processes and human behaviour/activities that result in human or animal diseases and in economic effects of ticks and tick-borne pathogens. Such understanding is essential for management of tick populations and tick-borne diseases in an effective and environmentally acceptable manner. The journal covers the following topics:Ticks: biosystematics/taxonomy, morphology, evolution, ecology, physiology/biochemistry, behaviour, molecular biology, genomics/proteomics, and controlEcology/ecoepidemiology of tick-borne diseases: vector ticks and reservoir hosts, the mechanisms and processes determining their abundance and distribution, the occurrence and prevalence of pathogens in tick and tick-host populations, tick-host-pathogen interactions at the ecological level and their dependence upon environmental factors, natural focality, and risk assessments of exposure to ticks and the occurrence of tick-borne diseasesTick-borne pathogens: viruses, bacteria, and parasites, their biology in ticks and vertebrates, pathogen-tick and pathogen-host interactions on the molecular and cellular levels, transmission, coinfection, genomics/proteomics, and biosystematics/taxonomyTick-borne diseases in domestic animals and wildlife: epidemiology, diagnosis, immunology, treatment, vaccination, control/management, and economicsTick-borne human diseases: epidemiology, diagnosis, immunology, treatment, vaccination, socioeconomics, and public healthIn addition, methodological papers on all these areas will be published as well as timely reviews on vectors and vector-borne diseases in which tick biology or tick-borne diseases are addressed.
