Medivet posted a notice that their fumagillin supplier, the only one they could find, was shutting its doors. I've seen a copy of the notice from Medivet.
I wonder - fumagillin is used in human medicine, and some companies that supply reagent grade chemicals, include fumagillin. I assume Medivet is correct - however, there are different grades of fumagillin. Perhaps there's another supplier in the world?
Years ago, I used a different fungicide to control Nosema in spruce budworm research colonies. But that one has gone off market due to it's human health side effects.
