[A searching system of parasite pictures and relevant information].

Over 3,000 pictures on five major parasites (schistosome, filaria, hookworm, leishmania and plasmodium) collected between 1950 and 1990 were edited and a searching system was established. The data can be used with a network-based version through a LAN system in the Institute. The adoption of Digital Computerized Management makes it possible for sharing resources in human parasitology.
