Excerpt from The Animal Parasites of Man: A Handbook for Students and Medical Men
Braun"s work on Human Parasites is so well known and has been so much appreciated that it has already reached a third German edition. Thanks to the present publishers an English translation appears which is sure to be welcomed by the Anglo-Saxon race.
The great importance of parasitology is becoming more marked every day. It is especially in warm climates that this subject is of such interest medically: but. nevertheless, the practitioner in temperate and cold regions is constantly brought face to face with some parasitic infestation.
The rapid strides made in parasitology make it necessary that such works as this should be constantly revised. In this edition a considerable amount of fresh matter has been incorporated, bringing it up to date. The original text has been followed as closely as possible; additional matter is enclosed in brackets.
The revision of the Protozoa, Cestodes and Nematodes has been undertaken by Dr. Sambon; the Trematodes, Arthropoda, &c., by myself. A large amount of fresh matter has been added to the Arthropoda especially dealing with Mosquitoes, Tsetse Flies, Ticks, and other disease-carriers.
The translation has been made with much patience and skill by Miss Falcke, to whom the editors are much indebted for the trouble and time she spent over the work.
