Taxonomic Scope
Research in Parasite Systematics and Taxonomy with Current Emphasis on Parasites of mammals, fish, herps, birds, and other animals.

The current emphasis in the Manter Laboratory is on the helminth parasites of mammals of the Nearctic, Neotropical, and Palearctic regions, stressing studies of the phylogeny and diversity of parasites of Rodentia, Marsupialia, Xenarthra, Chiroptera and Insectivora.

The Manter Laboratory maintains one of the largest and most active collections of parasites in the world. The laboratory is one of only three national resource centers for parasitology. We support research on parasites in the fields of biodiversity, systematics, and taxonomy. We loan and archive specimens and generate images for researchers to use both on-site and remotely. Our database is fully available for searching over the Internet [http://hwml.unl.edu]
