About this Special Issue
About this Special Issue
Molecular parasitology has transformed our understanding of parasite biology and the complex interactions between parasites and their hosts. Recent advances in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, molecular diagnostics, and gene-editing technologies have accelerated the discovery of novel therapeutic targets, improved disease surveillance, and enhanced strategies for parasite control.
This Special Issue aims to provide an international platform for publishing high-quality research that advances both the fundamental and translational aspects of molecular parasitology. We invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews, short communications, and methodological studies that contribute to improving the understanding, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of parasitic diseases affecting both humans and animals.
Researchers from academia, research institutes, hospitals, public health organizations, and industry are encouraged to submit their latest findings.
