Parasites: A Treatise on the Entozoa of Man and Animals Including Some Account of the Ectozoa

Whatever notions people may entertain respecting the dignity of the human race, there is no gainsaying the fact that we share with the lower animals the rather humiliating privi...

Since a large proportion of all those helminths that require a change of hosts must needs pass into the bodies of insects, crustaceans, mollusks, or other evertebrated animals,...

It will naturally be expected that I should give a full account of the parasites of the solipedal, solidungulate, or equine mammals. As regards the horse I regret that I cannot...

In the matter of parasites this order of mammalian animals stands second in importance. An entire volume of the dimensions of the present would barely do justice to the subject....

Concerning the parasites and parasitic diseases of this miscellaneous assemblage of large mammals, I shall first speak of those of the proboscideans (Elephantidæ). Except by mys...

Swarms of entozoa infest fishes, and it is hard to say whether they are less numerous in the inhabitants of fresh water than in those of salt water. More attention has been paid...

A prodigious number of entozoa are known to infest birds. So far from birds being less victimised than mammals, the contrary is the case. Every now and then avian epizoötics, du...

Notwithstanding the importance of the entozoa of this large section of mammals, I must deal with them very summarily, emphasising my remarks on the parasites of the dog and cat....

The parasites of whales are excessively numerous. Unfortunately only a few of the species have been carefully studied, and much confusion necessarily exists as to the number of...

Though very numerous, the parasites of this order are chiefly interesting as embracing those of the hares and rabbits, moles, mice, rats, squirrels, and beavers. Some slight not...

Much that I have advanced in respect of the parasitism of birds holds good in the case of reptiles. I cannot recapitulate. The saurians, ophidians, and chelonians are extensivel...

The well-known fact that, in respect of their habits, the pouched mammals epitomise, as it were, the non-marsupial quadrupeds, would naturally lead us to look for a repetition o...

Monkeys are less afflicted with flukes than most animals. The species known to me are _Distoma laciniatum_, found by Brongniart in the pancreas of _Simia maimon_; _D. orbiculare...

Inconsistent ways of expressing measurements are as in the original, for example, one fifth of an inch, 1/5th of an inch, 1/5 of an inch, 1/5″ of an inch, 1/5″.

The entozoa of insectivorous mammals, though sufficiently numerous, are not important practically. The common hedgehog (_Erinaceus europæus_) is infested by four flukes (_Distom...

Following the order of classification adopted in my description of the Mammalia in the ‘Museum of Natural History,’ I proceed to speak of the internal parasites of the seals (_P...

Until lately not very much attention had been paid to the parasites of bats, probably on account of the insignificance of the hosts. However, whilst Dr Dobson has recently been...

The entozoa of the edentulate mammals are not very numerous. So far as I am aware only one species has been described from the scaly ant-eaters (_Manidæ_). This is the small and...

In dealing with this division of the subject it will be impossible to give more than the faintest outline. Let it be borne in mind that quite as much information might be offere...
