The Journal of Parasitology is the official publication of the American Society of Parasitologists (ASP). It has been in print continuously since 1914, when it was founded by Henry Baldwin Ward. The journal focuses on general parasitology, as well as parasites of medical, veterinary, and economic importance. Most of the emphasis rests with eukaryotic parasites, although vectors for prokaryotic organisms and viruses are also included. The journal is printed at Allen Press in Lawrence, Kansas, in six issues per year. Institutional subscriptions are available. Membership in ASP includes receipt of the Journal of Parasitology, a quarterly Newsletter, and abstracts for the annual meetings; students can join at a much reduced rate. The journal is online via BioOne. The editor of the journal is Dr. Michael V.K. Sukhdeo.
