國際寄生蟲學(xué)雜志:寄生蟲和野生動物(IJP-PAW)發(fā)表了關(guān)于所有野生動物、無脊椎動物和脊椎動物寄生蟲的原始研究結(jié)果。這包括自由放養(yǎng)的野生種群，以及圈養(yǎng)的野生動物、半馴養(yǎng)的物種(如馴鹿)和新近馴養(yǎng)或野生捕獲的養(yǎng)殖種群(如養(yǎng)殖魚類)。歡迎有關(guān)野生動物寄生蟲學(xué)各方面的文章，包括分類學(xué)，生物多樣性和分布，生態(tài)學(xué)和流行病學(xué)，種群生物學(xué)和宿主-寄生蟲關(guān)系。寄生蟲對野生動物健康和保護(hù)的影響被認(rèn)為是該雜志涵蓋的一個重要領(lǐng)域，特別是環(huán)境因素的潛在作用，例如氣候。對該雜志同樣重要的是“同一個健康”，以及野生動物、人類和家畜之間相互作用的性質(zhì)，包括疾病的出現(xiàn)和人畜共患病。主要的出版形式是全文，其中包含大量的原創(chuàng)研究。該雜志還接受與全文主題范圍類似的簡短報告，但不值得全文出版。此外，該雜志還委托撰寫文章，重點放在對時事和新出現(xiàn)的問題以及具有戰(zhàn)略重要性的主題進(jìn)行較短、重點突出的評論。該雜志鼓勵通過“當(dāng)前觀點”對寄生蟲和野生動物領(lǐng)域的當(dāng)前爭議事項進(jìn)行批判性評論和辯論。

The International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife (IJP-PAW) publishes the results of original research on parasites of all wildlife, invertebrate and vertebrate. This includes free-ranging, wild populations, as well as captive wildlife, semi-domesticated species (e.g. reindeer) and farmed populations of recently domesticated or wild-captured species (e.g. cultured fishes). Articles on all aspects of wildlife parasitology are welcomed including taxonomy, biodiversity and distribution, ecology and epidemiology, population biology and host-parasite relationships. The impact of parasites on the health and conservation of wildlife is seen as an important area covered by the journal especially the potential role of environmental factors, for example climate. Also important to the journal is 'one health' and the nature of interactions between wildlife, people and domestic animals, including disease emergence and zoonoses.The principal form of publication is the full-length article which contains substantial, original research. The journal also accepts brief reports that have similar subject scope as the full-length article, but do not merit a full-length publication. In addition, the journal commissions articles with emphasis on shorter, focused reviews of topical and emerging issues as well as strategically important subjects. The journal encourages critical comment and debate on matters of current controversy in the area of parasites and wildlife via "Current Opinions".
