Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Parasite Epidemiology and Control' is dedicated to the study of parasitic diseases, focusing on their epidemiology, control measures, and the impact of these diseases on public health. The journal emphasizes research that addresses the burden of parasitic infections and the development of strategies for their management and control.
  1. Epidemiology of Parasitic Infections:
    Research focusing on the distribution, determinants, and dynamics of parasitic infections in various populations, including humans and animals, across different geographical regions.
  2. Control Strategies and Interventions:
    Studies evaluating the effectiveness of various control strategies, including mass drug administration, vaccination, vector control, and community engagement initiatives aimed at reducing the prevalence of parasitic diseases.
  3. Molecular and Genetic Studies:
    Research involving molecular techniques to understand the genetic diversity and evolution of parasites, which can inform control strategies and improve diagnostic methods.
  4. Public Health Impact:
    Investigations into the socio-economic and health impacts of parasitic infections, including morbidity, mortality, and the burden on healthcare systems.
  5. Zoonotic and Vector-Borne Diseases:
    Research addressing parasitic diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans, including studies on vectors that facilitate the spread of these infections.
Recent publications in 'Parasite Epidemiology and Control' reveal several emerging themes that indicate a shift in research focus. These themes are increasingly relevant to contemporary public health challenges and reflect the journal's responsiveness to global health needs.
  1. Impact of Climate Change on Parasitic Diseases:
    Research exploring how climate variability affects the transmission dynamics of parasitic diseases is on the rise, highlighting the need for adaptive strategies in response to changing environmental conditions.
  2. Integration of Technology in Parasitology:
    Emerging themes include the use of artificial intelligence and IoT technologies for monitoring and controlling parasitic diseases, indicating a trend towards innovative solutions in epidemiological research.
  3. Multi-Pathogen Interactions:
    Studies examining co-infections, particularly the interactions between parasitic and viral infections (e.g., COVID-19 and malaria), are gaining prominence, reflecting an urgent need to understand the complexities of disease interactions.
  4. Community-Based Health Interventions:
    Research focusing on community engagement and participatory approaches to health interventions is increasing, emphasizing the role of local populations in managing and controlling parasitic diseases.
  5. Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses:
    There is a notable increase in systematic reviews and meta-analyses, reflecting a growing emphasis on synthesizing existing research to inform evidence-based practices and guidelines for public health.

Declining or Waning

While the journal maintains a broad focus on parasitic diseases, certain themes have shown a declining trend in publication frequency, indicating a shift in research priorities or emerging challenges in the field.
  1. Environmental and Ecological Studies:
    Research that previously emphasized the ecological aspects of parasitic infections, such as habitat modeling and environmental impact assessments, has decreased, possibly due to a shift towards more immediate public health concerns.
  2. Traditional Control Methods:
    Studies focusing on traditional control methods, such as the use of herbal remedies or conventional pesticides, appear to be waning as researchers increasingly prioritize innovative and evidence-based approaches.
  3. Localized Case Studies:
    Detailed case studies focusing on specific local outbreaks or infections are becoming less common, possibly as the journal emphasizes broader epidemiological trends and meta-analyses that provide a global perspective.
