The scope of Parasites & Vectors is wide, and encompasses all aspects of the biology of parasites, parasitic malady, intermediate hosts and vectors. Broader problems, like political economy, the social sciences and international temperature change in respect to malady and malady management, will be enclosed.  previous BioMed Central journals, Filaria Journal and Kinetoplast Biology and malady, square measure currently incorporated into Parasites & Vectors, and that i hope that the communities that supported these journals will support this new venture. Parasites & Vectors are going to be competitor head-on with variety of existing subscription-based journals. However, I firmly believe that there's a distinct segment for the new journal. the explanation for this belief may be summarized in three words 'online' and 'open access', each area during which BioMed Central has nice expertise and a superb memoir. Parasites & Vectors is printed solely on-line. Articles can follow an identical format in order that the visual impact are going to be high and adequate that of the simplest hard-copy publications. In distinction to paper-based journals, however, the electronic format permits the total use of digital technologies and permits the inclusion of huge knowledge sets, from field and laboratory studies, links to different sites, animations, slide shows, video clips and unlimited color, all at no extra charge.
