PROTOZOA.
INTRODUCTION.
The aim of the present volume is to give an account of the animal parasites of man, the number of which is very large. The Protozoa that infest man are very important, and the literature relating to them and to the treatment of the diseases that they produce is very extensive. All that can be done in this Appendix is to give a very brief outline of some of the more recent and approved methods of treatment, for further details of which the reader should refer to standard medical works, among which the following are noteworthy:—
Allbutt and Rolleston (1907): “System of Medicine,” vol. ii, part 2, “Tropical Diseases and Animal Parasites,” London.
Castellani and Chalmers (1913): “Manual of Tropical Medicine” (second edition), London.
Laveran and Mesnil (1912): “Trypanosomes et Trypanosomiases” (second edition), Paris.
