Translational Parasitology

Translational Parasitology is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on translating basic research findings to application in the field of disease control. This field combines the knowledge of parasitology, immunology, and other disciplines to develop diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics against parasitic diseases. These strategies have the potential to reduce the burden of disease caused by parasites, which threaten the life and health of people and livestock around the world. Translational Parasitology provides a platform to develop new diagnostics and treatments that can lead to improved clinical outcomes and a reduction of global health inequalities.
