About the journal Journal of Helminthology
Rapid dissemination of international helminthological researchThe Journal of Helminthology provides an international vehicle for the publication of original papers and review articles on all aspects of pure and applied helminthology, particularly those helminth parasites of environmental health, medical or veterinary importance. In addition research papers on helminths in wildlife hosts including plant and insect parasites also feature along with taxonomic papers contributing to the systematics of a group.
It is for those involved in the fields of human and veterinary parasitology, public health, microbiology, ecology and biochemistry.

Instructions to Authors
The Journal of Helminthology provides an international vehicle for the publication of original papers and review articles on all aspects of pure and applied helminthology, particularly those helminth parasites of environmental health, medical or veterinary importance. Research papers on helminths in wildlife hosts including plant and insect parasites will also be welcome. Taxonomic contributions will be acceptable if they contribute to the systematics of a group and particularly if they employ biochemical or molecular biological techniques. The journal is produced electronically and is available free online to subscribers through BioMedNet.
Page formatThe Journal is printed in a two-column format (column width of 80mm) with a text area of 170x225mm.
TextPapers should be typed, on one side of the paper only, with double line spacing and ample margins (at least 1.5cm) on each side with no underlining or bold in text except for scientific names. Draft quality print from a word processor is not acceptable. Standard abbreviations (e.g. fig. and figs.) and metric units must be used. Use British rather than American spellings. Use 'z' rather than 's' spellings in words with 'ize'.
DisksUpon acceptance, authors are requested to submit a computer disk containing the final version of their paper along with the final manuscript to the editorial office. Please do the following: (1) Label disk clearly with author's name, title of journal and short title of article; (2) Specify which word processing software (including which version) was used (e.g. WordPerfect 6.0); (3) Specify what computer was used; (4) Include both original file and ASCII file on the disk; (5) Keep a backup disk for reference and safety.
AbstractEach paper must commence with an accurate, informative abstract in one paragraph, that is complete in itself and intelligible without reference to text or figures. It should not exceed 250 words. A short title should be provided as a running head.
TablesTables should be reduced to the simplest form and present only essential data. They should be submitted on separate sheets at the end of the article and must fit into single column, full width or landscape (if absolutely necessary) format. Captions should be typed on a separate sheet. The use of vertical rules should be avoided.
IllustrationsCopies of artwork only should be submitted. The original illustrations should accompany the paper after acceptance and revision. Captions should be typed on a separate sheet.
Line drawingsThese should be sharp and clear, black ink on white paper to about 1.5 times the intended final size. The lettering and lines should be of sufficient thickness and quality to stand reduction. Computer generated figures and graphs should not contain grey tints or complicated hatching.
Half-tone photographsBlack and white half-tone photographs are acceptable where they are a real contribution to the text. They should be prints of good quality at the intended final size with any required lettering or numbering inserted by the author.
Voucher specimensThe deposition of voucher specimens should be considered where appropriate.
ReferencesReferences must be based on the name and year system, give full journal titles and conform to the following styles:

Citation of authors in the text should appear in the form: Polaszek (1996) or (Polaszek, 1996). Authors should be cited in chronological order as (Blackman et al., 1994; Roberts & Kumar, 1995).
EthicsThe authors must demonstrate the experimental procedures employed conform to the accepted principles of animal welfare in experimental science. The principles defined and explained in the European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals used for Experimental and Other Scientific Purposes and its appendix and/or the National Research Council Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals should be followed. If experimental methodology raises particular ethical or welfare concerns then the Editor will take additional guidance from Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, when making decisions. The Editor抯 decision with regard to ethics will be final.
ProofsAuthors will receive two sets of page proofs. One set is for correcting and should be returned as promptly as possible to the address given, the other set is to be retained.
