• Arctos - A collective management database for museum specimens. See below for specific collections. Data includes locality and collection dates, and is downloadable for any registered accounts.

• Benesh et al. 2017, Ecology - Extensive database with 8,510 host species associations of parasites with complex life cycles (acanthocephalans, cestodes, and nematodes). Includes life‐history data such as development time and body size for each life cycle stage of the parasites.

• ENHanCEd Infectious Diseases Database (EID2) - A database that pulls organism associations from NCBI sequences and PubMed. See database and brief analysis in Wardeh et al. 2015.

• Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI) - A species interaction repository that can be searched by 'parasite of', 'pathogen of', or 'host of'.

• Global Mammal Parasite Database 2.0 - A database of the parasites of wild ungulates (artiodactyls and perissodactyls), carnivores, and primates.

• NHM Host-parasite database - A database of parasitic worms extracted from the scientific literature maintained by London Natural History Museum. Compilation started in 1922 by Dr H.A. Baylis, with curation through 2003 by LNHM staff. Wells et al. 2018 provides a broad analysis of this database, and you can access data through the R package helminthR (⭐9).

• PEARL - Conservation assessments of macroparasitic invertebrates.

• PHI-base - A database with information on specific genes of fungal, Oomycete and bacterial pathogens that affect pathogenicity. Focused on agricultural and medical pathogens of importance.

• PREDICT - Field data from the USAID PREDICT project 2008-2019, a global emerging virus surveillance program. This data is downloadable if you have a healthmap account.

Museums & Collections

• Biological Collections of Oswaldo Cruz Institute in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - scientific institution with the largest helminth collection in Latin America with nearly 40,000 specimens. The institute also houses several other open-access catalogues of protozoa and medically important vector species.

• Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (MNHN - Paris) - Helminth collection with more than 30,000 occurences of helminths with particular focus in tropical regions. Accessible through GBIF.

• Ohio State University Acarology Collection - Nearly 70,000 vouchered specimens of mites from around the globe starting from 1864. Information includes host species, collection gps points, collection location (e.g. ear), and collection method. Can also be accessed through GBIF.

• South Australian Museum’s Australian Helminthological Collection - Downloadable excel document of nearly 50,000 specimens of helminths primarily from Australian vertebrates. Most specimens are Platyhelminths, Acanthocephala, or Nematoda from mammals, birds, or Elasmobranchii. Some specimens are included in the LNHM database and accessible through helminthR (⭐9).

Reporting Systems

• Healthmap - A web platform that provides infectious disease outbreak alerts for humans and animals.

• WHISPers - Wildlife Health Information Sharing Partnership event reporting system managed by USGS National Wildlife Health Center. Events of North American wildlife mortality (death) and morbidity (illness) involving five or more individuals are reported.

• World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS) - The OIE archive of country alerts and regular reports of certain pathogens. They also have some nice interfaces to show disease distribution and timelines.

Taxonomy

• GBIF Backbone Taxonomy - Aggregation and synonymization of taxonomy for animals, bacteria, protozoa, and viruses that synthesizes 56 taxonomy sources.

• ICTV - The viral taxonomy authority with excellent archives and open reports.

• IUCN Redlist - Online database that provides taxonomic information for wild hosts. You can use the R package rredlist and the API to access the data directly.

• NCBI Taxonomy - The Taxonomy Database is a curated classification and nomenclature for all of the organisms in the public sequence databases, both parasites and hosts.

Scientific Journals

• American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene - AJTMH publishes a broad range of papers covering topics in tropical medicine. Their archive is open-access after a 12-month embargo.

• EFSA Journal - Open-access journal of the European Food Safety Authority with yearly reports of food-borne outbreaks and cases of zoonotic agents and antibiotic resistance emergence in humans and animals.

• Emerging Infectious Diseases - The CDC open-access journal.

• Journal of Wildlife Diseases - JWD provides many open-access articles on new parasite expansions or discoveries.

• Mitteilungen der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Tropenmedizin und Parasitologie - 23 open access volumes (1971-2001) of the scientific journal of the Austrian Society for Tropical Medicine and Parasitology.

• Parasitologia Hungarica - 31 open-access volumes (1960-1998) of Parasitologia Hungarica, a scientific journal hosted by the Hungarian Natural History Museum.
