Abstract:
Parasites display many three-dimensional (3D) features that are related to their parasitic lifestyle. Using two-dimensional images alone, such 3D features are difficult to convey during teaching or public outreach. Thus, we provide parasite models for 3D printing to support education and to encourage adoption and adaptation by the parasitology community.
