Parasite Collection Utrecht
In 2006 the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the University Museum of the University of Utrecht transferred their parasite collection to Naturalis. There the collection was restored, parasites were transferred to new vials and made accessible by a database. These activities were supported by a grant of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation, the Foundation for Academic Heritage (SAE) and the Mondriaan Foundation.
To find out more about the history of this collection, read this article.
The parasite database is still a work in progress, but an Excel export of the current version is available for download on this page.
