Welcome to Mid America Parasitology Services (MAPS)
Let’s start with the founders of this business, Richard McKown (Rick) and Mauritz Sterner (Skip). Between us, we have over 75 years of experience in all aspects of parasitology: research, identifications, workshops, and even questions regarding your pets.

We were told by other parasitologists that with our experience we should think of opening a consulting firm. So, in 2016, we formed MAPS to help researchers, federal and state agencies, zoos, veterinarians, colleges and universities, students, other parasitologists, and anyone with questions concerning parasites. We can teach techniques to students coming up in the field, catalog existing collections, and help others discover the fascinating world of parasitology.
So … come into our site, kick off your shoes, and check out our qualifications, experience, and ways we can help. Stay awhile and explore the wonderful world of parasitology and let our 75 years of experience work for you.
