Mathematical Models for Neglected Tropical Diseases: Essential Tools for Control and Elimination, Part A

by Roy M Anderson (Editor), Maria Gloria Basanez (Editor)

Overview

First published in 1963, Advances in Parasitology contains comprehensive and up-to-date reviews in all areas of interest in contemporary parasitology.

Advances in Parasitology includes medical studies of parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes. The series also contains reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which shape current thinking and applications.

The 2013 impact factor is 4.36.
