Index-Catalogue of Medical and Veterinary Zoology

The Index-Catalogue of Medical and Veterinary Zoology (ICMVZ) is an historic compendium of parasitological literature and a key resource for researchers in emerging diseases and global animal health. It comprises more than 100 publications with about 20,000 pages of references.With funding from the US National Library of Medicine, Oklahoma State University and Texas A & M digitized the Index-Catalogue and made it freely available online and electronically searchable.

Nomenclator Zoologicus

Nomenclator Zoologicus is a continuous record of the bibliographical origins of the names of every genus and subgenus in zoology published since the 10th ed. of Linnaeus' Systema Naturae in 1758 up to 1994 in nine volumes. Names are listed alphabetically, with a bibliographic reference to the original description of each one and an indication of the animal group to which it belongs. There are an estimated 340,000 genera represented in the text as well as approximately 3000 supplemental corrections. This version of the data is very accurate but the conversion process may have introduced some errors in the digital record.

Index Animalium

Sherborn's Index Animalium is a compendium of zoological taxonomic species nomenclature from 1758 to 1850. For each species described in this period it clearly lists the genus name, author, publication, pages, and date.The scientific names of animals are indexed in three different sources, which complement each other. Sherborn's Index Animalium covers all the names from the start (1758) to 1850; the Zoological Record, an annual index, started in 1864 and continues to present. The third source is Neave's Nomenclator Zoologicus, which provide an index of genus-group names. Other community efforts are underway to provide digital access to the names in the Zoological Record and Neave. Hence, Sherborn remains the only index that will not have been converted.
