  Journal of Medical and Applied Malacology
The International Society for Medical and Applied Malacology is devoted specifically to the concerns of applied malacology, i.e., to medical, veterinary and agricultural malacology.
The Journal for Medical and Applied Malacology will publish the results of original work, of either descriptive or experimental nature, devoted primarily or exclusively to the study of mollusks of medical, veterinary and agricultural importance, and their parasites, and will publish reviews of major research in these areas of medical and applied malacology.
Voucher specimens of all species used in all types of research papers published in the Journal for Medical and Applied Malacology must be lodged in a recognized repository, i.e., sample specimens of each species studied must be sent to a museum and, preferably, the registered numbers and full data of these specimens published.

Malacology is the science dealing with the study of the Mollusca.
Molluscs are a group of invertebrate animals and with probably more than 100.000 living species they are the second in size to the Arthropoda (insects, crustaceans etc.).
Because of the important role which molluscs play in nearly every ecosystem, because of their economical value and because of their good abilities to get preserved as fossils molluscs and their shells are an interesting and fascinating field of research with many applied aspects.

 Malacology
Malacology is the study of molluscs-invertebrate creatures with soft, unsegmented bodies, many of which house themselves in shells.
This fascinating and highly diverse group of animals includes more than 100,000 species, ranging in size from snails so small that we can barely see them to giant squids more than 60 feet long.
The Strake Hall of Malacology highlights these creatures through models, fossils, dioramas, living specimens, and hundreds of rare and spectacular shells.
