MISSION
To advance parasite systematics through rigorous morphology, preserved vouchers and reproducible visual evidence.
SEPS connects field discovery, comparative morphology, curated specimens and careful molecular confirmation to document parasite diversity and clarify how parasites move through changing host communities. We build practical tools, publish defensible records and strengthen the taxonomic foundation required for ecology, conservation and public health.
