National Parasite Resource Center

From 2005 to 2008, with the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), the construction of parasite germplasm repositories has spread to 20 conservation institutions in 15 provinces (cities) nationwide, with 3 physical exhibition halls; 3 live parasite conservation centers. A total of 1115 species/117814 pieces of parasitic germplasm resources of 23 orders in 11 phyla have been integrated into the physical library and database, including human parasites and vectors, animal parasites, plant nematodes, medical insects, trematodes, and parasitic snails, and the resources are combined with moderate distribution, medium- and long-term support, and off-site duplicates. The number of resources accounts for 39.27% of the national total. Through 10 years of accumulation, we have built the largest and only parasite species resource database in the field of parasites in China, and created a sharing platform of parasite germplasm resource center.

自2005年至2008年，在科学技术部（MOST）的支持下，寄生虫种质资源库的建设已在全国15个省份（城市）的20个保护机构中推开，设有3个实物展览馆和3个活体寄生虫保护中心。总计集成了11个门、23个目的1115种/117814件寄生虫种质资源，包括人类寄生虫和媒介生物、动物寄生虫、植物线虫、医疗昆虫、吸虫和寄生虫蜗牛等，资源分布适中，并辅以中长期支持和异地复份。这些资源的数量占全国总量的39.27%。经过10年的积累，我们已构建了中国寄生虫领域最大且唯一的寄生虫物种资源数据库，并创建了寄生虫种质资源中心的共享平台。
