History

Acta Parasitologica et Medica Entomologica Sinica, formerly known as Acta Parasitologica Sinica, was founded by the China Zoological Society in 1964 with Academician Feng Lanzhou, a renowned expert of medical parasitology in China, as editor-in-chief. The journal was suspended during the Cultural Revolution. After the reform and opening up, guided by the principle of "prevention first, pest control and disease eradication", the status and role of medical insects and other disease vectors in national health affairs became more prominent, and the professional team of medical entomology continued to grow. A professional platform for exchange and presentation of scientific results in the fields of medical entomology and parasitology was urgently needed. In 1993, the China Zoological Society and the Entomological Society of China jointly sponsored for the publication of Acta Parasitologica Sinica, and be approved by the National Press and Publication Administration in the same year. Since then, the journal was transferred to Acta Parasitologica et Medica Entomologica Sinica.
