Parasite Epidemiology and Control PARASITE EPIDEMIOLOGY AND CONTROL AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Abstracting and Indexing p.1 • Editorial Board p.1 • Guide for Authors p.4 ISSN: 2405-6731 DESCRIPTION . Parasite Epidemiology and Control is an Open Access journal. There is increased parasitology research that analyses the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. This epidemiology of parasite infectious diseases is predominantly studied in human populations but also includes other major hosts of parasitic infections and as such this journal has broad remit. Parasite Epidemiology and Control focuses on the major areas of epidemiological study including disease etiology, disease surveillance, drug resistance, geographical spread, screening, biomonitoring, and comparisons of treatment effects in clinical trials for both human and other animals. We also focus on the epidemiology and control of vector insects. The journal also covers the use of geographic information systems (Epi-GIS) for epidemiological surveillance which is a rapidly growing area of research in infectious diseases. Molecular epidemiological approaches are also particularly encouraged. ABSTRACTING AND INDEXING .

  • The Relation Between Hygiene with Soil- Transmitted Helminthiasis And
    International Journal of ChemTech Research CODEN (USA): IJCRGG, ISSN: 0974-4290, ISSN(Online):2455-9555 Vol.10 No.13, pp 317-323, 2017 The Relation between Hygiene with Soil- transmitted Helminthiasis and Giardiasis on the Elementary School Children in the Slums Area of Bagan Deli, District of Medan Belawan Adelina Haryani Sinambela*, A.A. Depari, Endang H. Gani Parasitology Department, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sumatera Utara, Indonesia Abstract : Soil-transmitted helminthiasis and giardiasis mostly infect elementary school children, especially in tropical and developing countries. Hygiene is the important risk factor in the transmission of these infections. The aim of this research was to determine the correlation between hygiene and soil-transmitted helminthsis and giardiasis in the elementary school children in slums area. The research was conducted observationally using a cross- sectional study approach from February to April 2014 on 110 children in slums area of Bagan Deli, District of Medan-Belawan, in the Province of North Sumatra. The subjects were selected randomly by sampling. Stool examination was conducted using the formalin-ether concentration technique. Data related to the hygiene level were taken by interview and observation the environment. The results were analyzed using the Chi square test. The level of good hygiene was 52.7% and the poor was 47.3%. The prevalence of intestinal parasites identified was 61.8% of soil-transmitted helminths, 13.6% of Giardia lamblia, 6.4% of the mixed infection of soil-transmitted helminths and Giardia lamblia, 10% of Entamoeba coli, 1.8% of Iodamoeba butschlii, and 0.9% of Hymenolepis nana. Statistical analysis showed a correlation between age and soil transmitted helminthiasis (p=0.031; CI95% 1.120-5436) and giardiasis (p=0.025 CI95% 1.178-16.766).

  • Veterinary Parasitology
    VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY An international scientific journal and the Official Organ of the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP), the European Veterinary Parasitology College (EVPC) and the World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (WAAVP) AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Audience p.2 • Impact Factor p.2 • Abstracting and Indexing p.2 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.5 ISSN: 0304-4017 DESCRIPTION . Veterinary Parasitology is concerned with those aspects of helminthology, protozoology and entomology which are of interest to animal health investigators, veterinary practitioners and others with a special interest in parasitology. Papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites in all domesticated animals, fall within the scope of the journal. Papers of geographically limited (local) interest which are not of interest to an international audience will not be accepted. Authors who submit papers based on local data will need to indicate why their paper is relevant to a broader readership. Or they can submit to the journal?s companion title, Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, which welcomes manuscripts with a regional focus. Parasitological studies on laboratory animals fall within the scope of Veterinary Parasitology only if they provide a reasonably close model of a disease of domestic animals. Additionally the journal will consider papers relating to wildlife species where they may act as disease reservoirs to domestic animals, or as a zoonotic reservoir. Case studies considered to be unique or of specific interest to the journal, will also be considered on occasions at the Editors' discretion.

  • 2006 Waller Industry Perspectives On
    Veterinary Parasitology 139 (2006) 1–14 www.elsevier.com/locate/vetpar Review From discovery to development: Current industry perspectives for the development of novel methods of helminth control in livestock§ P.J. Waller * SWEPAR, National Veterinary Institute, SE 751 89 Uppsala, Sweden Received 11 November 2005; received in revised form 23 February 2006; accepted 27 February 2006 Abstract Despite the extraordinary success in the development of anthelmintics in the latter part of the last century, helminth parasites of domestic ruminants continue to pose the greatest infectious disease problem in grazing livestock systems worldwide. Newly emerged threats to continuing successful livestock production, particularly with small ruminants, are the failure of this chemotherapeutic arsenal due to the widespread development of anthelmintic resistance at a time when the likelihood of new products becoming commercially available seems more remote. Changing public attitudes with regards to animal welfare, food preferences and safety will also significantly impact on the ways in which livestock are managed and their parasites are controlled. Superimposed on this are changes in livestock demographics internationally, in response to evolving trade policies and demands for livestock products. In addition, is the apparently ever-diminishing numbers of veterinary parasitology researchers in both the public and private sectors. Industries, whether being the livestock industries, the public research industries, or the pharmaceutical industries that provide animal health products, must adapt to these changes. In the context of helminth control in ruminant livestock, the mind-set of ‘suppression’ needs to be replaced by ‘management’ of parasites to maintain long-term profitable livestock production. Existing effective chemical groups need to be carefully husbanded and non-chemotherapeutic methods of parasite control need to be further researched and adopted, if and when, they become commercially available.

    Annual Report (2006) for the ARC/NHMRC Research Network for Parasitology 1 Annual Report (2006) for the ARC/NHMRC Research Network for Parasitology • A summary of the overall goals and objectives, programs and research priorities and any changes to these that may have occurred during the past year Objectives The mission of the ARC/NHMRC Research Network for Parasitology (as stated in the application for funding) is to: • focus and enhance Australia’s fundamental, strategic and applied parasitology research capabilities to understand parasitism, parasite biology and parasitic disease; and • to use that understanding to discover and develop sustainable control strategies to improve and maintain the health and well-being of humans and animals. The Network aims to: • create a website that will foster national and international collaborations by providing access to databases on parasites, parasite genomes, bioinformatics analysis tools, parasitology research resources and protocols, parasitology researchers – this will prevent duplication of research and promote the adoption of uniform protocols, which will fast track Australia's research effort; • organise and fund conferences, workshops and meetings for scientists, industry representatives, end-users (eg farmers, veterinarians, wildlife experts), government representatives and community groups, including participation by international experts; • foster and finance exchange of staff between national and international research institutions to maximise access to key infrastructure, equipment,
