Canine vector-borne diseases – a new thematic series

Parasites & Vectors has published a thematic series grouping together a number of articles recently presented at a symposium on canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) in New York in April 2010.

 The aim of the 5th Symposium on Canine Vector-Borne Diseases, sponsored by Bayer Animal Health GmbH, was to facilitate the advancement of understanding in the diversity and prevalence of canine vector-borne diseases, and their significance for veterinary and public health.

 The articles address a number of such diseases, looking at the biological interactions between ectoparasite, pathogen and host, as well as their distribution across the globe. Contributions to the thematic series, edited by Chris Arme, include original research articles, alongside several reviews and short reports.

 If you are interested in publishing articles or proceedings from a conference in a BioMed Central journal, either as a thematic series or journal supplement, please contact journals@biomedcentral.com for further information.
