About APCPZ

Asian Pacific Congress for Parasitic Zoonoses (APCPZ) was established in 1990, when the 1st APCPZ conference was held in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The president of this inaugural conference was Professor Tomio Yamaguchi, an emeritus professor at Hirosaki University.
Since then, the APCPZ has been held biennially, alternating primarily between Japan and Taiwan. In 2010, the congress was hosted for the first time in a third country—Incheon, Korea—reflecting the growing participation of Korean parasitologists. Since that time, APCPZ has continued to rotate among these three countries every two years, except during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
The APCPZ serves as a vital platform that brings together medical and veterinary parasitologists from East Asian countries and around the world to exchange knowledge and share the latest developments in the field of parasitic zoonoses.
