Search Uncatalogued Holdings

Below are donated holdings we have but have not been catalogued and thus are not searchable. However, we do have a summary at variable levels of these collections, size, main parasite and or host taxonomic group(s). We have successfully found specimens to loan resulting from inquiries from the parasitology community. Most of these collections were donated as grouped by hosts, so that is the easiest way for us to look for your target parasite taxa.

If you are interested in any of these, please email the Collection’s Manager with your request. For many of these we can search for what you want, and some have excel spreadsheets.
