Human Helminthology: A Manual for Physicians, Sanitarians and Medical Zoologists

The third edition of this manual on helminths parasitic to man establishes it as a standard reference for important advances in this field. The first edition, published in 1929, and the second, published in 1939, were previously reviewed favorably in The Journal. The third edition lives up to the high standard of the previous editions and retains admirably the textbook style of presentation as originally planned to aid in teaching the subject. In the ten years since the previous edition, the author has found it necessary to revise the entire book to introduce new information and reevaluate older ideas. The book continues to fulfil the needs of clinicians, field workers and laboratory technicians interested in medical zoology by proper arrangement of the material presented. Chapter subdivisions are thus based on zoologic classification of the various helminths, the description of intermediate or reservoir hosts and the diagnostic technics and anthelminthic drugs
