Host-Parasite Interactions: Trends in Molecular Ecology

Dear colleagues,

Parasitism is one of the most successful modes of life, given the extent of current and past diversity of parasitic species. Interactions between hosts and their parasites play a central role in their evolution and greatly influences their biology. This special issue will include reviews and research articles on the topic "interactions between hosts and parasites". While the reviews will focus on the future of Parasitology, the research articles will address pertinent questions about the co-evolution between these organisms and discuss findings through the lens of evolutionary biology. Please send me an abstract prior to submission to make sure that your work falls within the scope of this special issue.

Sincerely,

Dr. Alexis Beaurepaire
Dr. Robert Fleischer
Guest Editors

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
