About the BSP
There has been a strong tradition of research in parasitology in the United Kingdom, including the pioneering work of early Nobel Prize winners.
The British Society for Parasitology was launched in 1962 from the parasitological section of the Institute of Biology, and included overseas researchers amongst its founding members. The membership of the BSP now stands at around 1000 with approximately 300 from overseas.
The Society was incorporated as a charitable company in 1998, and is managed by the BSP Council, comprising Honorary Officers and ordinary Council Members, who together act as Company Trustees.
The memorandum and articles of association governing the BSP were printed in the 2004 BSP Handbook, copies of which may be obtained by members by application to the BSP Secretariat. They can also be downloaded from the council documents page of this website.
