Neotropical Helminthology (Neotrop Helminthol) aims to publish scientific research on all aspects of helminths, primarily those of the Neotropical fauna of humans and animals, but not exclusively from this geographic region. Research includes plant nematodes, annelids, pentastomids, nematomorphs, leeches, temnocephalians, mesozoans, and even acoelomates and pseudocoelomates. It also features contributions on protozoa and arthropods of medical and veterinary importance. It contains the following sections: Editorial, Letters to the Editor, Original Article, Review Article, Commentary, Scientific Note, and Obituary. Research contributions may be submitted in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, and are rigorously peer-reviewed (double-blind). The journal primarily features basic and applied research on biological topics, with a particular focus on Neotropical subjects. This journal is academically sponsored by the Peruvian Association of Helminthology and Related Invertebrates (APHIA).
