Full description
The South Australian Museum houses the Australian Helminthological Collection (AHC), the foremost collection of Helminth parasites in Australia. Most specimens, stored permanently preserved on glass slides or in alcohol, are derived from Australian native vertebrates, but much material is from domestic and zoo animals, plus livestock. As studies of Australia's marine environment expand and with the growth of aquaculture nationally, Helminths from our marine fauna, especially fishes, are increasing in the AHC. The collection is supported by an exceptional and extensive compilation of literature. Identifiers
