Helmintidning

Helmintidning is a Swedish term used to describe publications dedicated to helminthology, the study of parasitic worms. The word combines helminth (from Greek helmins, worm) and tidning (newspaper or magazine). In practice, helmintidning can refer to either a formal scientific journal or a more informal newsletter published by a parasitology society, veterinary faculty, or research group.

The intended audience includes clinicians, veterinarians, researchers, and students. Content typically covers taxonomy and biology of helminths, life cycles, diagnostics, epidemiology, and control measures in humans and animals, as well as case reports and field notes. Publishers vary by country and institution, and some institutions issue regular bulletins or newsletters that summarize recent research, present conference announcements, and provide job or training opportunities.

In many settings, helmintidning is not a single, globally recognized title but rather a descriptive label used for internal or regional publications. Academic journals focusing specifically on helminths may carry precise titles, but the Swedish term remains a generic reference. For readers, helmintidning serves as a knowledge resource for updates in parasite taxonomy, diagnostic methods, treatment options, resistance patterns, and control programs in veterinary and human medicine.
