Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
Structure Your Parasitology Manuscript
Organize your research following standard scientific format to facilitate peer review and ensure clarity for readers:
Title: Concise and descriptive (maximum 150 characters). Include parasite species, host organism, and study focus when applicable.
Abstract: Structured abstract (250-300 words) with Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Clearly state research objectives, key findings, and implications for parasitology.
Keywords: 5-8 keywords including parasite taxonomy, host species, geographic location, and methodology. Use standardized terminology from parasitology databases.
Introduction: Establish research context within parasitology literature, identify knowledge gaps, and state clear objectives. Reference relevant parasite biology, ecology, or host-pathogen interaction studies.
Methods: Detailed description enabling replication. Include parasite collection/culture methods, host species and handling, molecular techniques, statistical analyses, and ethical approvals. Follow ARRIVE guidelines for animal studies.
Results: Present findings logically with appropriate figures and tables. Report parasite prevalence, intensity, molecular data, or experimental outcomes with statistical support.
Discussion: Interpret results in context of existing parasitology literature. Address study limitations, ecological or evolutionary implications, and future research directions.
References: Cite primary parasitology literature. Use Vancouver or APA style consistently. Include DOIs when available.
Figures and Tables
Submit high-quality figures showing parasite morphology, life cycle stages, molecular data, or ecological patterns. Minimum 300 DPI resolution for microscopy images. Label all scale bars, axes, and statistical significance clearly.
Supplementary Materials
Include sequence data, detailed protocols, additional figures, or large datasets as supplementary files. Deposit genetic sequences in GenBank/EMBL with accession numbers cited in manuscript.
