[](https://github.com/ropensci/helminthR/actions)

[](https://codecov.io/github/ropensci/helminthR?branch=master)

> Programmatically access the London Natural History Museum's [helminth database](http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/scientific-resources/taxonomy-systematics/host-parasites/index.html).
See software note in _Ecography_ ([available here](http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ecog.02131/full))
### Installation
From GitHub
```{r eval=FALSE}
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("rOpenSci/helminthR")
library("helminthR")
```
From CRAN
```{r eval=FALSE}
install.packages("helminthR")
```
### Main functions
#### `findHost()`
Given a host genus and (optionally) species and location, this function returns all host-parasite associations of a given host species. The example below determines all parasite records for helminth infections of _Gorilla gorilla_.
```{r eval=FALSE}
gorillaParasites <- findHost('Gorilla', 'gorilla')
head(gorillaParasites)
```
#### `findParasite()`
Given a helminth parasite genus (and optionally species, and location), this function returns a list of host-parasite records for that parasite. In the example below, I query the database for occurrences of the genus _Strongyloides_.
```{r eval=FALSE}
strongHosts <- findParasite(genus='Strongyloides')
str(strongHosts)
```
### `data(locations)` and `findLocation()`
A data file containing all the location names that can be queried, along with putative latitude and longitude coordinates for the centroid of each location can be found in `data(locations)`. Note that this will replace any object in the global environment named `locations`. These names can be given to the `findLocation()` function, which finds all host-parasite associations that have occurred in the given location. Below, I look at host-parasite associations recorded in France.
```{r eval=FALSE}
FrenchHostPars <- findLocation(location='France')
str(FrenchHostPars)
```
