Description

The Ohio Wesleyan University Museum of Natural History houses a parasite collection based on the personal collection of Dr. Ramon A. Carreno. Several thousand preserved helminths and arthropods, preserved in formalin or alcohol, together with hundreds of permanent slides, are included. Most specimens were collected from various projects involving centrarchid fishes, birds, mammals, and arthropods. It is anticipated that the collection will eventually be archived into the museum database and will provide both host and parasite species information along with geographical and other data.
