The Brazilian Society of Parasitology (SBP) was founded in July 1965 and will celebrate its Diamond Jubilee in 2025, marking 60 years since its establishment. Legally registered as the “Brazilian Technical-Scientific Society of Parasitology SBP,” it is a non-profit civil organization that brings together parasitologists from Brazil and other countries. SBP is affiliated with the Brazilian Society for the Advancement of Science (SBPC), the Latin American Federation of Parasitology (FLAP), and the World Federation of Parasitology (WFP).
Recognized as being of public utility, this society aims to stimulate research and technological development in the fields of Medical, Veterinary, and Agricultural Parasitology.
In addition to promoting scientific events, SBP holds the important Brazilian Congress of Parasitology every two years. This event gathers professionals, undergraduate and graduate students from Brazil and abroad who work in parasitology across its various branches—infectious diseases, epidemiology, pharmacy, biomedicine, biology, medicine, veterinary medicine, clinical analysis laboratories, epidemiological surveillance services, management, and health policies related to the country’s diverse healthcare services, Research Institutions, and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), as well as the industrial sector. It aims to expand knowledge boundaries and seek advancements and solutions for the main parasitic diseases affecting Brazil and the Americas. Through the exchange of experiences and sharing of scientific discoveries and advancements, SBP has also contributed to the development of prevention and control alternatives in the epidemiological surveillance sector in our country.
