BRI has teamed with BEI Resources (Manassas, VA., USA) to offer infected mammals, intermediate hosts, Bge cells molecular reagents and other reagents for schistosomiasis research. Distribution of schistosome parasites and their intermediate hosts is from the Biomedical Research Institute. Molecular reagents will be distributed directly from BEI Resources. Available life cycle stages and molecular reagents in the schistosome resource catalog can also be viewed through the BEI Resources online web catalog.
