Abstract
Biorepositories are an important resource for today’s research. To obtain more scientific information, stored samples from older repositories are being investigated using modern techniques and technologies, while new repositories are being built to facilitate genomic studies. Parasitological research has progressed from basic laboratory procedures to using molecular and genomic methodologies to understand parasite biology, necessitating the creation of parasitology-based biorepositories. Parasite biorepositories can reduce the cost of frequent sampling in resource-constrained situations and enhance best research practices, in addition to enhancing research productivity. Repositories can also help to prevent the loss of biological materials from uncommon, endangered, or newly found species. In Nigeria, the available repositories are mostly for the archiving of clinical samples. To promote parasite genomics research in Nigeria, a parasite library is required. Through membership, institutional, and international support, national groups such as the Parasitology and Public Health Society of Nigeria (PPSN) can build and maintain parasite biorepositories.
