Some Minute Animal Parasites Or Unseen Foes In The Animal World Classic Reprint

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Animal Parasites and Human Disease One of the most appalling realizations with which every student Of nature is brought face to face is the universal and unceasing struggle for existence which goes on during the life of every living organism, from the time of its conception until death. We like to think of nature's beauties; to admire her outward appearance of peacefulness; to set her up as an example for human emulation. Yet under her seeming calm there is going on everywhere - in every pool, in every meadow, in every forest murder, pillage, starvation and suffering. Man Often considers himself exempt from this interminable struggle for existence. His superior intelligence has given him an insuperable advantage over the wild beasts which might otherwise prey upon him; his inventive genius defies the attacks of climate and the elements; his altruism, which is perhaps his greatest attribute, protects, to a great extent, the weak and poorly endowed individuals from the quick elimination which is the inevitable lot of the unfit in every other species of animal on the earth. Exempt as we are, to a certain extent, from these phases of the struggle for existence, we have not yet freed our selves from two other phases of it, war and disease. We have some reason for hoping that after the present world-wide con fiagration of war has burned itself out and its ashes, the flesh and bones of its countless victims, have disintegrated and disappeared from view, we may be able to free ourselves from the probability of ever again taking part in or witnessing such a spectacle. That the helpless bondage in which we were once held by disease Will never again be our lot, we can say with more assurance.

Excerpt from Animal Parasites: And Parasitic Diseases The second edition of Animal Parasites and Para sitie Dis-eases has been exhausted. The demand for this little concise work has far exceeded the expecta tion of the author and publisher. The illustrations which have been so useful have been increased in number. Four pages of photomicrographs of the strongylus-armatus group have been added and the chapter rewritten bringing the work down to date.

Excerpt from Introduction to Animal Parasitology Special attention has been paid to presenting the life cycles of parasites in detail, relating these, where possible, to the properties of the environment. When a life cycle is presented in diagrammatic form, in this way, the result is frequently complex, but it has been found that the preparation of such diagrams helps to focus attention on some overlooked aspects of the life cycle. Prominence has also been given to two new and rapidly developing fields of parasitology, namely, immunity to animal parasites and the development oftec for the cultivation of parasites in vitro. Within the past few years remarkable advances have been made in both these fields, and these open up exciting possibilities for the future. Biological research is now being carried out on such a scale throughout the world that a text in most specialised fields is out of date almost as soon This is certainly true in parasitology and the constant flow of reprints reaching the author each week serves to emphasise this fact. Many of the ideas set down here will require reconsideration in the light of further work, and this thought should be constantly before the student, as he turns over the pages of this book.

Excerpt from Animal Parasites and Messmates, Vol. 19 The edifice of the world is only sustained by the impulses of hunger and love. - schiller. IN that great drama which we call Nature, each animal plays its especial part, and He who has adjusted and regulated everything in its due order and proportion, watches with as much care over the preservation of the most repulsive insect, as over the young brood of the most brilliant bird. Each, as it comes into the world, thoroughly knows its part, and plays it the better because it is more free to obey the dictates of its instinct. There presides over this great drama of life a law as harmonious as that which regulates the move ments of the heavenly bodies; and if death carries off from the scene every hour myriads of living creatures, each hour life causes new legions to rise up in order to replace them. It is a whirlwind of being, a chain without end. This is now more fully known; whatever the animal may be, whether that which occupies the highest or the lowest place in the scale of creation, it consumes water and carbon, and albumen sustains its vital force.

Excerpt from The Animal Parasites of Sheep In 1782, Goeze a distinguished German naturalist, wrote: Among all mammals except the horse, the sheep appears to be most harassed by worms. He thus called attention at that early period to the great abundance of ovine parasites, an abundance which have transmitted their posterity in comparatively undiminished numbers.
