The World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (WAAVP) is a not for profit organization for scientists who study the parasites of non-human animals, encompassing helminthology, protozoology and entomology.

WAAVP membership is open to veterinarians and others who are actively interested in the advancement of veterinary parasitology, anywhere in the world. Members receive a newsletter twice a year and members are welcome, and encouraged, to contribute to this.

The Association gathers bi-annually at a scientific conference. As it is a world wide organisation it endeavours to hold conferences across the globe, and a conference is not normally held in the same continent as the previous conference.
