Journal Guide

This fully peer-reviewed international journal provides microbiologists, food processors, and food researchers with essential information on microbial food safety.

Journal of Medical Entomology is published bimonthly in January, March, May, July, September, and November. The journal publishes reports on all phases of medical entomology and medical acarology, including the systematics and biology of insects, acarines, and other arthropods of public health and veterinary significance. In addition to full-length research articles, the journal publishes Reviews, interpretive articles in a Forum section, Short Communications, and Letters to the Editor.

The primary constituency of the Journal of Parasitic Diseases is parasitology. It publishes original research papers (pure, applied and clinical), which contribute significantly to any area of parasitology. Research papers on various aspects of cellular and molecular parasitology are welcome.

Journal of Parasitology Research is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies in all areas of parasitology.

Journal of Tropical Medicine is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies in all areas of tropical medicine.

(ICMR) publishes the Journal of Vector Borne Diseases. This Journal was earlier published as the Indian Journal of Malariology, a peer reviewed and open access biomedical journal in the field of vector borne diseases. The Journal publishes review articles, original research articles, short research communications, case reports of prime importance, letters to the editor in the field of vector borne diseases and their control. The Journal is published quarterly in the months of March, June, September and December in each calendar year. All correspondences regarding submission of manuscripts, subscription, etc. should be addressed to the Editor, Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, National Institute of Malaria Research (ICMR), Sector 8, Dwarka, New Delhi–110077.

An interdisciplinary journal devoted to research on different aspects of toxins, venomous animals, and their products and derivatives, and Tropical Deseases.

 Malaria Journal is aimed at the scientific community interested in malaria in its broadest sense. It is the only journal that publishes exclusively articles on malaria and, as such, it aims to bring together knowledge from the different specialities involved in this very broad discipline, from the bench to the bedside and to the field. Malaria Journal offers a fast publication schedule while maintaining rigorous peer-review; this is achieved by managing the whole of the publication process electronically, from submission to peer-review.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology is the leading periodical in its field. The Journal covers the biology and control of insects, ticks, mites and other arthropods of medical and veterinary importance. The main strengths of the Journal lie in the fields of: • epidemiology and transmission of vector-borne pathogens .

The journal publishes original contributions from research scientists throughout the world, in the fields of parasitology, microbiology, tropical medicine as well as basic studies in immunology molecular and cell biology related to these fields

The journal provides a medium for rapid publication of investigations of the molecular biology and biochemistry of parasitic protozoa and helminths and their interactions with both the definitive and intermediate host. The main subject areas covered are:• the structure, biosynthesis, degradation, properties and function of DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and small molecular-weight substances • intermediary metabolism and bioenergetics• drug target characterization and the mode of action of antiparasitic drugs • molecular and biochemical aspects of membrane structure and function• host-parasite relationships that focus on the parasite, particularly as related to specific parasite molecules. (Note that studies predominantly focused on the host response (e.g. immunology) are better suited to other journals.) • analysis of genes and genome structure, function and expression • analysis of variation in parasite populations relevant to genetic exchange, pathogenesis, drug and vaccine target characterization, and drug resistance.• parasite protein trafficking, organelle biogenesis, and cellular structure especially with reference to the roles of specific molecules• parasite programmed cell death, development, and cell division at the molecular levelPapers will only be accepted for publication if they fall within these areas, if they contain original and complete work of high scientific quality, and if they are well presented. Papers solely confirming the conserved functions of genes previously studied in other organisms will not be considered.Most downloaded papersBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
