About the journal
Parasite Immunology
Parasite Immunology is an international journal devoted to research on all aspects of parasite immunology in human and animal hosts. Emphasis has been placed on how hosts control parasites, and the immunopathological reactions which take place in the course of parasitic infections. The Journal welcomes original work on all parasites, particularly helminths, protozoa and ectoparasites.
Each issue will contain original papers; research notes, viewpoint and review articles, and reports of meetings are also accepted. Guidance on manuscript preparation appears on the Author Guidelines page, or the inside cover of each printed issue.

Instructions to Authors
Papers (in English) should be sent to:
The Editors
Parasite Immunology
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
Osney Mead
Oxford OX2 0EL
UK
Papers are accepted on the understanding that they have not been and will not be published elsewhere. Three copies should be submitted to aid refereeing and these should be typed (with a wide margin), double spaced, on one side of standard paper (A4 30 × 21 cm). A title page should contain the author's name(s), place of work, address including e-mail for correspondence, full title and short running title. A completed copyright assignment form must be included with the submitted manuscript.
For indexing purposes, a short number of 'key words' should be identified. Authors should retain one copy of the text, tables and illustrations as the editors cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of manuscripts. Overseas authors may wish to consult an appropriate member of the Advisory Board (listed on the inside of the front cover of the printed journal) prior to submission of material. Authors are invited to provide the names and addresses of up to three suitable Referees, on the understanding that the Editors are not bound by any such nomination.
When papers have been accepted for publication, and after any revision has been completed, authors should submit the final version on disk. This should be IBM compatible. An accurate hard copy must accompany each disk together with details of the type of computer used, the word-processing software and the disk operating system. The text must not be justified. Particular attention should be taken that the final version adheres to the style of the journal in all respects and that the hardcopy and the file on disk are the same.
Do not use the carriage return (enter) at the end of lines with a paragraph. Turn the hyphenation off. Always enclose a hardcopy of figures and tables.
ELECTRONIC ARTWORK
Please send digital versions of figures. Ideally, these should be sent in native format of PICT if created on a Mac, or in native format or WMF if created in Windows. Files saved as PS, EPS, GIF and TIF may also be used, but please note that it may not be possible to modify them. Avoid using tints if possible; if they are essential to the understanding of the figure, try to make them coarse. Further details can be obtained from the publishers. Disks will not be returned to authors.
Original Papers
The text should be preceded by a short summary not exceeding 200 words, and should then proceed to sections of Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion. Pages should be numbered consecutively in arabic numerals, but tables, footnotes, figure legends including magnifications and acknowledgements should be submitted on separate sheets.
Tables and figures should be referred to in the text together with an indication of their approximate position recorded in the text margin. References should be cited in the Vancouver style. In the text they should be numbered in superscript in the order in which they appear. The reference list should follow the numbering sequence used in the text and should include: the names and initials of all authors; the full title of the article; the source of reference using abbreviations for journal titles as shown in Index Medicus, the year, volume number and first and last pages. For references cited from books, the title of the editors, the edition, the place of publication, the publisher, the year of publication and the first and last pages.
Examples:
1) Rogerson SJ, Novakovic S, Cooke BM, Brown GV. Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes adhere to the proteoglycan thrombomodulin in static and flow-base systems. Exp Parasitol 1997; 86 8-18.
2) Parks DR, Lanier LL, Herzenberg LA. In Handbook of Experimental Immunology, ed. Weir DM, Oxford: Blackwell Science Ltd; 1986; 29
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their references.
Spelling should conform to The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English and units of measurement, symbols and abbreviations with those in Units, Symbols and Abbreviations (1977) published and supplied by the Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London W1M 8AE. This specifies the use of SI units.
Illustrations should be labelled with the figure number and author's name in soft pencil on the back identifying the top edge.
Photographs should be glossy bromide prints of good contrast and well matched, preferably mounted on card and with a transparent overlay for protection. The overlay should be used to indicate masking instructions, lettering or arrows. Specific features may be identified for electronmicrographs either directly on the prints or on the overlay.
Magnifications should be notified to the exclusion of the insertion of scales on prints. Photographs will be printed unreduced where possible but should not exceed 23 × 17 cm (which is the page size) and authors may be asked to contribute to the cost of printing if the space requested for illustrations is considered excessive.
In the case of electronmicrographs it is desirable that full page width should be utilized. Colour illustrations are encouraged. The first colour figure is free but the author must pay the cost of reproduction in full for subsequent figures. Please note that if there is more than one piece of colour artwork in your manuscript when it is accepted for publication, Blackwell Publishing require you to complete and return a colour work agreement form before your paper can be published. This form can be downloaded as a PDF* from the internet. The web address for the form is:

If you are unable to access the internet, or are unable to download the form, please contact the Production Editor at the address below, aand they will be able to email or FAX a form to you. Once completed, please return the form to the Production Editor at the address below:

Research Notes
The journal publishes studies that are not required to be written up as conventional papers. They should not be structured like original papers but should contain brief accounts of background studies, methods used, results and discussion. References should be kept to a minimum and there should be no more than one table and one figure. Maximum length accepted is four pages of typescript. They may be given some priority in publication.
Viewpoint and Review Articles
These will normally be commissioned, but submitted articles would be considered though the editors should be consulted in advance.
Letters to the Editor
These are published if they comment usefully on material published in previous issues, and should not exceed 400 words.
Meetings Reports
Reports on meetings or parts of meetings concerned with parasite immunology will be published. Again, these reports will be commissioned, but the editors will be pleased to receive reports that might be used.
Page proofs, together with separate proofs of illustrations to indicate quality of photographic reproduction, will be sent to the author's address on the title page and should be returned within three days of receipt. Alterations in the text, other than corrections, may be charged to the author.
Twenty-five offprints of each paper will be provided free of charge and additional copies may be ordered when proofs are returned. A scale of charges will be sent with the proofs. The journal does not carry page charges.
