27 YEARS OF "EQUAL RIGHTS FOR PARASITES"

27 YEARS OF “EQUAL RIGHTS FOR PARASITES”

Post # 16

Donald A. Windsor

My catchy slogan, “Equal rights for parasites”, first appeared in the public domain in 1990 in Nature. Its most recent appearance was in 2017, 27 years later in the same journal.

Here is a bibliography of its published appearances over those years in my articles.
