South Australian Museum Parasitology Collection

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.

南澳大利亚博物馆馆藏澳大利亚蠕虫学馆藏（Australian Helminthological Collection, AHC），该馆藏为澳大利亚境内首屈一指的蠕虫寄生虫馆藏。馆藏多数标本以载玻片封存或酒精浸泡的方式永久保存，其来源以澳大利亚本土脊椎动物为主，同时亦包含大量来自家养动物、动物园动物及家畜的样本。随着澳大利亚海洋环境研究的不断拓展，以及全国水产养殖业的发展，馆藏中来自海洋动物区系（尤以鱼类为主）的蠕虫标本数量持续增长。该馆藏依托一套极为丰富且全面的文献汇编提供支撑。
