Synopsis

A Laboratory Guide To The Study Of Parasitology is a comprehensive guidebook written by William Brodbeck Herms in 1913. The book is designed to help students and researchers understand the study of parasitology, which is the study of organisms that live in or on other organisms (hosts) and cause harm to them. The guidebook provides detailed instructions on how to collect, preserve, and examine parasites, as well as how to identify them and understand their life cycles. It covers a wide range of topics, including the classification of parasites, the morphology of parasites, and the pathogenesis of parasitic infections. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of parasitology. The first section provides an introduction to the study of parasites, while the second section covers the techniques and equipment needed for parasite collection and examination. The third section focuses on the morphology and classification of parasites, and the fourth section covers the life cycles of parasites. The final section of the book provides information on the pathogenesis of parasitic infections, including the symptoms and treatment of parasitic diseases. The book also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid in the understanding of the material. Overall, A Laboratory Guide To The Study Of Parasitology is an essential resource for students and researchers in the field of parasitology. It provides a comprehensive overview of the subject matter and is a valuable reference for anyone interested in the study of parasites.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

With the rapid growth of Parasitology there is also a growing demand for laboratory instruction in this field. The authors greatest desire during the time that he has been engaged in teaching this subject has been to place the work upon a good systematic footing, giving it proper rank with other phases of applied biology. The following exercises are based upon several courses in Parasitology (now merged into two) that have been given by the author at the University of California during the past four years, including two summer sessions. Each exercise has had careful testing in the laboratory and is practical. The aim of this Guide is to give the student a wide practical view of the field so that he might have a fair grasp of the general subject in its application to the health and well-being of man and beast. The exercises are in sufficient detail so that the student is enabled to continue work on some specific group or species if he so chooses. The exercises are arranged to provide sufficient matter for a laboratory session requiring from two and a half to three hours for each. A number of the exercises are divided into two or three parts, and this may be useful in cases where less time is available. The two standard courses given at the University of California upon which these exercises are based are Human Parasitology (first half year) and Veterinary Parasitology (second half year), each with three lectures per week and two laboratory sessions of from 2}4 to 3hours. The author wishes to gratefully acknowledge the very able assistance rendered by Mr. A. B. Shaw, Jr., in the preparation of this laboratory guide. W. B. H. Berkeley, Califoknia, August 5, igii.
