Parasitology (journal)

Parasitology (journal) is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Parasitology (journal) rather than just read about it. In short: Parasitology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the area of parasitology, including the biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, ecology and epidemiology of eukaryotic parasites, and the relationship between the host and the parasite. It was established in 1908 and is published fourteen times a year by Cambridge University Press.

Key takeaways

Parasitology (journal) belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Parasitology (journal) to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Parasitology (journal) from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Parasitology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the area of parasitology, including the biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, ecology and epidemiology of eukaryotic parasites, and the relationship between the host and the parasite. It was established in 1908 and is published fourteen times a year by Cambridge University Press. The editor-in-chief is John Russell Stothard (Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine). Cambridge University Press announced that as of 3 October 2022, publishing would be switching to gold open access.

History The journal was established in 1908 by George Nuttall, who served as the editor until his death in 1933. Subsequent editors have included David Keilin (1934–63), Parr Tate (1952–68), Harry Crofton (1968–72), David Crompton and Bruce Newton (1973–81), Frank Cox (1982–2000), Phil Whitfield (1982–86), Chris Arme (1987–2006), Stephen Phillips (2000–20), Robin Gasser (2005 – after 2009) and Les Chappell (2006 – after 2009). John Russell Stothard took over from Phillips as editor-in-chief in 2020.

Abstracting and indexing The journal is abstracted and indexed by:

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 2.4.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Parasitology (journal)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Parasitology (journal) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Parasitology (journal) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Parasitology (journal) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Parasitology (journal)

In research: Parasitology (journal) appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Parasitology (journal) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Parasitology (journal) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Cambridge University Press academic journals, Creative Commons Attribution-licensed journals, English-language journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Parasitology (journal) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
