Articles submitted to the Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Parasitology (RBPV) need to be original scientific articles that essentially address matters relating to parasites of animals of any kind. Original Article: this type of article reports data from original research that has not been published in any other periodical. It should be structured as follows: Original Title (English), Translated Title (Portuguese), Short Title (English), Author(s), Affiliations, Abstract (English), Keywords, Resumo (Portuguese), Palavras-chave (Portuguese), Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions (or a combination of the last three), Acknowledgements, Ethics Declaration, Declaration of Conflict of Interests and References. All tables and illustrations should be presented separately from the main text body and attached to the final manuscript without captions. The related captions should be included in the text after the References. Short Communication: for this category, articles submitted will only be accepted if they have a high degree of novelty and originality, bringing new results of evident importance. The decision on whether the submission may proceed will be made by the editor-in-chief. It should follow the same structure as Original Article, but can be presented as a continuous stream of text without the need to include headings, should be concise and limited to 4,000 words, and can include up to 3 figures or tables, combined. Not more than 25 references should be cited. Review Article: submission of these articles is conditional on submission and invitation from the editor-in-chief. Reviews that were not requested will be assessed by the editor-in-chief or assistant scientific editors provided that they were written by researchers who are specialists in the topic chosen. The main text of review articles must not contain a minimum of 4,000 words Paper submission: The manuscripts submission is online by ScholarOne. The corresponding author needs to supply an ORCID ID Open Researcher and Contributor ID, at the time of submission, which should be inserted in the user’s profile in the submission system. We recommend that this should also be done for the coauthors. Authors are required to send a signed cover letter in which they declare that they were responsible for the whole process of producing the manuscript and that it is entirely an unpublished original article. If the abstract of the manuscript has been presented in scientific meetings, this should be stated in the signed cover letter as well. Article processing fee The RBPV does not charge any article submission fee. However, after the article has been accepted, the following publication fees will be charged: R$ 500.00 (CBPV members whose annuities are up to date); R$ 1000.00 (non-members of CBPV); US$ 300,00 (foreign authors).

Bank data for deposit: Name: Colégio Brasileiro de Parasitologia Veterinária/ Revista Bank: Banco do Brasil (001) Branch: 0269-0 Current account: 28848-9 Language The articles submitted must undergo English-language revision. A certificate of English-language revision should be sent together with the submitted article, done by reviewers accredited by the RBPV : ELSEVIER AUTHOR WEBSHOP: https://webshop.elsevier.com/ WILEY EDITING SERVICES: https://wileyeditingservices.com/en/ PUBLICASE INTERNATIONAL: https://www.publicase.com.br/ DAVID GEORGE ELLIFF: david.elliff@bsnet.com.br BEATRICE ALLAIN: beatrice.tradutora@gmail.com AMERICAN JOURNAL EXPERTS: https://www.aje.com/c/RBPV10 EDITAGE PUBLISH & FLOURISH: https://www.editage.com/ BIOEDIT SCIENTIFIC EDITING: https://www.bioedit.com/ JOURNAL PREP SERVICES: https://www.journalprep.com/ PRECISE EDITING: https://www.teamprecise.us/ CAMBRIDGE PROOFREADING: https://www.cambridgeproofreading.online/about-us.php The authors will be expected to bear the costs of the revision. If one of the coauthors is a non-Brazilian who is a native speaker of the English language, this author should review the English-language content of the study. The corresponding author needs to send correspondence to the journal confirming that this review was done by one of the authors who is a native speaker of English. Authorship Manuscripts with a number of authors that does not seem justifiable will be assessed by our assistant scientific editors in relation to the experimental research protocol. All authors need to have made substantial contributions to the study design, data acquisition, data analysis and interpretation, and drafting of the article, and need to have given final approval of the version to be submitted. Changes to authorship, such as exclusion or inclusion of authors, must be made by sending a formal letter to the editor-in-chief, with a justification for the request. This will be assessed with regard to the policies for submission and approval. An author who is excluded or included must also agree to this change by sending a communication to the editor-in-chief. Peer review process The manuscript review process will follow the journal’s Editorial Guidelines and consider the editors’ and/or ad hocreviewer’sopinions. The Editor-in-chief and assistant scientific editors may make suggestions or request changes to the manuscript but the authors are ultimately responsible for the entire text content. Articles that are submitted for publication will be reviewed by at least two anonymous reviewers. The reviewers will be selected by the editor-in-chief. If the referees give conflicting opinions, the article will be sent to a third reviewer. The reviewer should fill out the RBPV’s evaluation form, which is available in the online submission system (http://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/rbpv-scielo). The author will receive evaluations from at least two reviewers, as statements on evaluation forms and possibly as corrections made directly in the text. The authors need to address each of the queries raised or corrections suggested by each of the referees, by means of a reply letter. The authors must also highlight the corrections in the text, using different colors for each referee. The reviewer may then correct the article, if necessary. After the manuscript has been accepted by the ad hoc reviewers, but before it is sent for the authors’ responses, it will undergo a final analysis by one of the assistant scientific editors. It should be noted that the assistant scientific editors have autonomous authority to suggest corrections and/or reject publication of an article, even if the reviewers have already approved it. Also at this stage, if necessary, the manuscript is sent to one of the RBPV statistical method reviewers. |

Authors’ rights All rights are reserved to authors, unrestrictedly, while reserving for the journal the right to first publication. Accessibility Studies published in the Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária will always be available online, starting from their date of publication. Archiving The RBPV encourages authors to archive the final version of their manuscripts published in the journal, immediately after their publication on the journal’s website. Posting the published PDF version in personal blogs, institutional repositories and scientific social media such as ResearchGate or Academia.edu, among others, is also recommended. For this, it is necessary to include the citation of the article with the journal’s name (RBPV) and the DOI. Conflicts of interest The RBPV requires that a declaration of conflicts of interest should be sent with the article, and publishes this. The corresponding author must send a declaration revealing any potential conflicts of interest, which could be of a personal, commercial, political or academic nature, with or without involvement of financial compensation, with regard to all authors. Even if there is no conflict, a declaration must be sent. This information must be furnished as described in the rules for presenting the manuscript. Financial support The RBPV requires that all financial support received by all authors should be revealed, including the name of the funding agency and the grant identification number(s). This information must be furnished as described in the rules for presenting the manuscript. Animal rights Experiments using animals should be conducted following the rules of the Ethics and Animal Wellbeing Committee of the institution at which the study was developed, and the authors must present the protocol number for submission and approval of their studies. For non-Brazilian authors, guidelines for experiments on animals are also set forth in the "International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals", issued by the "Council for the International Organizations of Medical Sciences" (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/olaw/guiding_principles_2012.pdf). These authors need to present the equivalent protocol number(s) for submission and approval of their studies. This information must be furnished as described in the rules for presenting the manuscript. Regarding allegations of misconduct within the study The RBPV follows the ethics guidelines proposed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE; https://publicationethics.org) and the Good Practices Code drawn up by the Research Support Foundation of the State of São Paulo (FAPESP): https://fapesp.br/boaspraticas/2014/FAPESP-Codigo_de_Boas_Praticas_Cientificas.pdf Suspected misconduct The RBPV emphasizes impartiality, integrity and confidentiality in its assessments. The editor-in-chief will consult with reviewers and assistant editors in cases of doubt or questioning. In situations of doubts relating to authorship, the first contact should be with the corresponding author and then, if necessary, with all the authors. If the matter remains unresolved, the institutions to which the authors are affiliated or the funding agencies involved in developing the study should be contacted. In cases of any suspicions regarding research ethics or problems of publication malpractice, authors, reviewers, editors and readers are encouraged to report this by email to the editor-in-chief. If necessary, the RBPV will publish errata, corrections or retractions. Plagiarism The RBPV screens all manuscripts submitted using the Similarity Check system (https://www.crossref.org/services/similarity-check/), which is distributed by iThenticate. After article acceptance The final layout of the article in PDF format will be provided by email to the corresponding author. Changes to the article accepted for publication will only be considered at this stage if permission from the Editor is granted. The proof must be carefully checked for accuracy as inclusion of subsequent corrections (e.g. a new author, change of paragraphs or tables) cannot be guaranteed. After the layout and editing processes, the editor-in-chief of the journal will make any final corrections. |

Use of colors Although use of colors is permitted, it is important that authors should endeavor to ensure that their use of colors will not prejudice understanding among readers with any type of visual disorder. We recommend that the following resources should be consulted before preparing any figures or tables using colors:
Editing and manipulation In preparing your images, take care when using filters or any other type of editing for including highlighted insets etc. The images should not be manipulated or adjusted excessively, to the point that this could cause misinterpretation of the information. We recommend that authors should take note of the tips and examples in the following:
Dimensions, resolution and formats Graphs, photographs, diagrams, illustrations etc. must be sent in the formats TIFF or JPG, with high resolution (300 or 600 dpi), according to the type of image and the size at which it will be used on the page, in conformity with the following requisites:
Text inside figures In preparing your figures, try to use types and sizes of text consistently between all the images, and also use the following recommendations:
Legends Legends should be explanatory, starting with the identification in bold, followed by a period and the descriptive text. If necessary, include after the description an explanation for possible highlights such as arrows, symbols (*, †, ‡, §, etc.), letters, numbers etc. that have been used, and also including an indication of the font and citations, when pertinent. When necessary, the authors are responsible for obtaining the correct authorization for use of images, photos, illustrations etc. from other sources, directly from the copyright owner, including the corresponding citation. Example: Figure 1. Comparison between an original figure from another source and the version prepared by the authors after obtaining the correct authorization. (A) Original figure as published in the original article by Silva et al. 2015. (B) Figure adapted by the authors after obtaining authorization from the copyright holder. Source: Silva et al. 2015. Blank space Eliminate excessive blank space around the content of your images, but keep a small safety margin of ~5 pixels. Multiple figures or panels Panels, boards or multipart images (a, b, c, etc.) should always be combined into a single file. Use of specialized software For images generated or prepared using specialized software or tools such as Matlab, Prism, Stata, ChemDraw, PyMol, SPSS, GeneSpring or Minitab, we advise authors to follow the guidance of PLOS ONE, available at https://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/figures#loc-creating-source-images-with-specialized-software. Policies Representation of humans or animals In images containing photos of people, it needs to be ensured that they cannot be identified, except in cases in which use of such photos has been specifically authorized for publication in the article. In addition, authors must ensure that their images are in accordance with our policies regarding protection of human and animal rights. Licenses and copyright Whenever authors use third-party images, no matter whether this is in full, redrawn in a new version or just as inspiration, the proper authorization in writing needs to be obtained from the copyright holder and the respective citation and font indication should be included.
