Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Parasitic infections continue to represent a major challenge to global health, affecting millions of people and animals worldwide and demanding constant scientific innovation. Based on contemporary advances in parasitology, this Special Issue aims to highlight new horizons in the field.
We invite the submission of original research articles, reviews and methodological studies that explore emerging parasitic pathogens, innovative diagnostic and surveillance strategies, molecular and ecological aspects of parasite biology and new tools for prevention and control. By bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to broaden our understanding of parasitic infections and contribute to the development of effective interventions.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.
