The U.S. National Science Foundation and iDigBio are required to collect information on use of digitized collections-based specimen data. Please help us meet this requirement every time you use this search portal. Sustainability of the national digitization effort depends on evidence of data use! Maybe later.

MSB Parasite Collection (Arctos)

Specimen Records: 50,893
Media Records: 57
iDigBio Last Ingested Date: 2025-01-23

The MSB Division of Parasitology is a collection of primarily metazoan endoparasites, especially helminths, including the personal collection of Robert L. Rausch and Virginia R. Rausch. The Rausch material, plus specimens from the Beringian Coevolution Project, make this an important aggregation of western arctic and subarctic parasites. It vouchers an active program in global schistosome diversity, as well as Long-Term Ecological Research at the Sevilleta National Wildife Refuge.
