Bulgarian Society for Parasitology is a successor of the Society of Parasitologists in Bulgaria (established in 1965). This society organised five national conferences of parasitology between 1968 and 1987, which were also attended by numerous foreign parasitologists. After 1990, the activities of the society were interrupted for some 10 years.

On the 14th October 1999, the General Assembly of the Society of Parasitologists in Bulgaria renewed its activities. We adopted a new name, Bulgarian Society for Parasitology. The current bylaws of the society were accepted in 2002 (available in Bulgarian only).

Bulgarian Society for Parasitology is a professional association of Bulgarian researchers and experts working in parasitological aspects of biology, human and veterinary medicine, agriculture and forestry. We organised Sixth (2001) and Seventh (2005) National Conferences of Parasitology, which were also attended by many participants from abroad.

In 2007, 187 Bulgarian parasitologists are members of the Bulgarian Society for Parasitology.

Bulgarian Society for Parasitology is a member of European Federation of Parasitologists and World Federation of Parasitologists. Since 2001, the Bulgarian Society for Parasitology is an associated collective member of the Union of Scientists in Bulgaria.
