Brittany,
Hi, you should be able to order paramecium from Carolina Biological Supply
- I don't have the address off hand, but your biology teacher should. If
not, let me know and I will try to find it. By the way, paramecium are
protazoa, not bacterium.

I am familiar with Curt Lively's work, and I believe that the duck
excretion contained either nematodes (small worms), or their eggs, (rather
than bacterium) which then infected the snails.
I want to do the same with

I'm really impressed that you are doing this project as a high school
student! Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I also
encourage you to contact Dr. Lively before you begin your project. He is
very friendly and might have some useful suggestions concerning your
project.
Good Luck!
