Planaria 2021 Environmental Summary, Reptile & Aquatics, Stowers Institute for Medical Research v1
Keyword(s):
Planaria are an emerging model organism, and we have maintained a colony of asexual and sexual worms at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research since 2010. Their small size allows us to maintain a large census across several systems requiring a small footprint. The planaria systems at the Stowers Institute allow for standardization of husbandry and environmental parameters. Acknowledging that husbandry conditions and environmental parameters can impact research results we provide information about the housing, nutrition, maintenance, and health for our Planaria colonies. This information will be applicable to any Planaria housed in the facility in 2021.
