About This Book

The work offers a systematic survey of internal and external parasites affecting humans and other animals, organized into two parts: parasites of man and parasites of animals. Major groups—flukes, tapeworms, roundworms, thorn‑headed worms, leeches, parasitic arachnids, crustaceans, insects and protozoa—are treated in turn, with attention to life cycles, intermediate hosts, transmission routes, pathology, and public‑health and veterinary implications. The author emphasizes comparative pathology and practical identification, supplying illustrations, references, and statistical notes to aid diagnosis and inform measures for prevention and control.
