American Society of Parasitologists

The American Society of Parasitologists (ASP) is a professional organization focused on the study of parasites—organisms that live on or in a host, often causing harm. Founded in 1946, it brings together scientists and researchers to share knowledge, conduct research, and promote education about parasitology. The society organizes meetings, publishes research findings in its journal, and supports educational initiatives to advance understanding of parasites' biology, ecology, and their impact on health and the environment. Overall, the ASP plays a crucial role in fostering collaboration and innovation in the field of parasitology.
