Parasites & Vectors is calling for submissions to our Collection on 'Molecular biology of disease vectors.' This collection contains articles from keynote speakers presenting at the 10th Workshop on Genetics and Molecular Biology of Insect Vectors of Tropical Diseases (Entomol10), held during the 59th Congress of the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine, São Paulo, Brazil.

About the Collection

Parasites & Vectors is calling for submissions to our Collection on 'Molecular biology of disease vectors.' Vector-borne diseases such as Chagas disease, dengue and chikungunya, human African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis,  lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis and schistosomiasis, are among the WHO neglected tropical diseases, and associated with devastating health, social and economic consequences. Studying various aspects of disease vectors is a fundamental step towards the control of these diseases. This collection contains articles from keynote speakers presenting at the 10th Workshop on Genetics and Molecular Biology of Insect Vectors of Tropical Diseases (Entomol10), held during the 59th Congress of the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine, São Paulo, Brazil. 

The collection is also open to submissions on molecular biology (e.g., population genetics, phylogenetics and evolution, molecular taxonomy, and vector-pathogen interactions), surveillance and control of disease vectors.

This Collection welcomes submission of Research articles, Reviews and Case studies. Should you wish to submit a different article type, please read our submission guidelines to confirm that type is accepted by the journal. 

Articles for this Collection should be submitted via our submission system, Snapp. Please select the appropriate Collection title “Molecular biology of disease vectors" under the “Details” tab during the submission stage. Articles will undergo the journal’s standard peer-review process and are subject to all the journal’s standard policies. Articles will be added to the Collection as they are published.

The Editors have no competing interests with the submissions which they handle through the peer-review process. The peer-review of any submissions for which the Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.
