The First 35 Years: 1967 - 2002 Click here to get the pdf file of the "History of SWAP" compiled by Donald W. Duszynski. If you like what you read, or even if you don't, consider donating $25.00 to SWAP (contact the secretary treasurer of SWAP) to assist SWAP in our effort to keep Parasitology a vibrant discipline by training students.
"It is likely that the idea to organize southwestern parasitologists into
a regional group originated over cocktails one night in the late 1950s
during a regional or national meeting. What is clear is that two men, Drs.
Robert E. Kuntz and Donald V. Moore were instrumental in turning the idea
into what has become, in reality, the Southwestern Association of
Parasitologists (SWAP)."
The first unofficial meeting of SWAP was held in the laboratory of
Dr. Frank Sogandares-Bernal (pers. comm. May 5th, 2006 via phone. -slg).
