Seeking Phi6 and MS2 phages for research

Karen Kormuth, Bethany College

I'm hoping to use Phi6 and MS2 as a surrogate model system for studying infectious disease transmission. I previously worked at Pitt on influenza viruses, so I'm new to the phage community. Because we're such a small college, I have an extremely limited budget and can't afford to purchase the commercial phage. Are there any researchers out there who might be willing to share Phi6 and/or MS2 with my lab? Please contact me at kkormuth@bethanywv.edu if you can help.
