Provides access the London Natural History Museum's helminth database. The data are now archived by the London Natural History Museum, but we are still curating the data, adding records and working towards georeferencing existing data at a finer scale than the current geopolitical level.

This package has changed a good deal as a result of the data being archived. See the original software note in Ecography (available here) for information on how the package worked in the past, or see the vignette for how it works now.
