RT Journal T1 A guide to human parasitology for medical practitioners JF Journal of the American Medical Association JO Journal of the American Medical Association YR 1939 FD January 21 VO 112 IS 3 SP 269 OP 269 DO 10.1001/jama.1939.02800030079044 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1939.02800030079044 AB This practitioners' handbook of human parasitology has proved its acceptibility by attaining a third edition in three years. In the latest edition the chapter on malaria has been rearranged and that on leishmaniasis has been rewritten and the book as a whole brought down to date. Its usefulness would be considerably increased if the authors should include therapy and preventive measures in their next edition.
