Global Mammal Parasite Database v. 2.0
The main website for this project can now be found at Global Mammal Parasite Database.
Background and full data: In 2017 we published the Global Mammal Parasite Database version 2.0, a database of parasites that infect wild ungulates, carnivores and primates across the globe. This version of the database contains more than 24,000 lines of data derived from over 2700 literature sources. You should be able to download the data using the links below If you have any trouble downloading the database from the Wiley publishing website, contact Patrick R Stephens for access (prsteph at uga.edu).

GUI Data download: We are also now also offering a web interface that allows users to select subsets of the data for download. Use the following links to download data for specific hosts, parasites or geographic regions:
Most of the data above is from our original 2017 publication. However, some additional primate data has been added since the database was originally published.
Ecological Database of the Worlds Insect Pathogens
David Onstad’s Ecological Database of the Worlds Insect Pathogens (EDWIP) is once again fully available. You can find a description of the database and a link to GUI download site at the link below:
