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.
