Journal of Helminthology publishes original papers, review articles and short communications on all aspects of pure and applied helminthology, particularly those helminth parasites of environmental health, medical or veterinary importance. As of June 1st 2024, the journal will no longer consider papers focused on free-living helminth taxa, unless the latter are directly relevant to the study of parasitic helminths. Research papers on the ecology and evolution of helminths in wildlife hosts, including plant and insect parasites, are also published along with taxonomic papers contributing to the systematics of a group. The journal will be of interest to academics and researchers involved in the fields of human and veterinary parasitology, public health, microbiology, ecology, epidemiology and biochemistry.
