Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on "Diptera as Parasites and Parasitoids of Wild and Domestic Animals" aims to explore the intriguing relationship between Diptera species and their hosts. Diptera, commonly known as flies, encompass a diverse group of insects that play significant roles as parasites and parasitoids in both wild and domestic animal populations.
This Special Issue seeks to shed light on various aspects of Diptera's interactions with their hosts, including their biology, behavior, ecology, and impacts on animal health and welfare. We invite researchers and experts in the field to contribute their original research articles, reviews, and case studies to enhance our understanding of these fascinating interactions. It is our aim to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers and practitioners in the field of veterinary sciences, entomology, parasitology, and related disciplines.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and to an enriching Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Samia Boussaa
Guest Editor
