We have a stock of Schistocephalus solidus tapeworm eggs from several lakes on Vancouver Island. We can send eggs, and advise on hatching and infection protocols. Copepods are available to use as a vector to infect stickleback with S.solidus. We also have a supply of Glugea sp. spores, with the caveat that this is a horizontally transmitted fish pathogen that must be carefully quarantined within a fish colony.

Pictured is one adult Stickleback with the Schistocephalus solidus; all of those tapeworms came from this single wild adult.
