The parasitology section publishes research findings which focus on clinical, macro pathological, cell and molecular biological aspects of parasitological infections. This includes studies on livestock, companion animals, equines, wild animals, fish, laboratory animals and animal models of human infections. Studies on related zoonotic and emerging infections are also accepted.
