Only manuscripts of high scientific significance and innovation will be considered for publication.

Criteria for rejection without review:

• Out of scope.
• Case reports.
• Parasite and vector control strategies at very early inconclusive laboratory stages of development. For vector control studies, field validation is required.
• Ethical issues, including plagiarism, submission of the manuscript to multiple journals, and lack of ethical approval where needed.
• Not following the instructions specified in the journal guide for authors
• Results presented do not significantly advance science including innovative new approaches
• Manuscripts do not meet quality standards of presentation and literature citation and do not demonstrate potential health or biomedical impact.

The editors carefully evaluate initial manuscript submissions and only those meeting the above criteria will be forwarded to review.
