Abstract

The second part of this manual deals with diseases due to the metazoa, which include the parasitic worms; in addition, infestation with insects and the action of insects as carriers of disease are described. The book ends with a chapter on snakes and snake venoms. The treatment appears to be as thorough as in Part 1, and a considerable number of infections dealt with are common to temperate climes, such as tapeworms, ankylostoma and trichinae.
