N2 - Herein we describe the origin of the International Commission on Trichinellosis more than 60 years after its foundation. We attempt to clarify previous debate over the founding presidents and particularly the role of Polish parasitologist, Zbigniew Kozar. Seminal and core proceedings of the Commission published in Wiadomości Parazytologiczne and other records were used to advance this goal. An early regional commission initially held in Budapest, Hungary at the Hungarian Meeting of Parasitologists was devoted to trichinellosis and was presided over by Kozar from 1958 to 1960. However, the official formation of the Commission did not occur until 1960 during the 1st International Conference on Trichinellosis held in Warsaw, Poland, where Witold Stefanski was elected president. During the 2nd International Conference on Trichinellosis, which was held in 1969 in Wroclaw, Poland, Samuel E. Gould was elected president until his untimely death in 1970. Zbigniew Kozar was secretary general from 1960 to 1972. Beginning with the 3rd International Conference held in Miami, Florida, USA in 1972, the activities of the Commission and the Conference became better documented.
