I am pleased to announce the launch of Parasites & Vectors – a new open access journal published by BioMed Central. The scope of Parasites & Vectors is wide, and encompasses all aspects of the biology of parasites, parasitic disease, intermediate hosts and vectors. Broader issues, such as economics, the social sciences and global climate change in relation to disease and disease control, will also be included. Two previous BioMed Central journals, Filaria Journal and Kinetoplastid Biology and Disease, are now incorporated into Parasites & Vectors, and I hope that the communities that supported these journals will also support this new venture.
