Die Protozoen als Krankheitserreger des Menschen und der Hausthiere Für Ärzte, Thierärzte und Zoologen

This volume offers a concise yet thorough survey of the earliest research into protozoan parasites and their role in disease. Drawing on a decade of advances in comparative pathology, the author explains how these microscopic animals, once misunderstood, came to be recognized as genuine causes of illness in both people and domestic animals. The text is organized for easy reference, with clear definitions, case summaries, and practical guidance aimed at physicians, veterinarians and zoologists alike.

Illustrated with thirty‑seven detailed plates, the work walks readers through the identification of key genera such as Trichomonas, Entamoeba and the sporozoan group, linking their morphology to the symptoms they produce. A well‑structured bibliography at the end points scholars toward the most relevant contemporary studies. By combining historical anecdotes with up‑to‑date experimental findings, the book remains a valuable foundation for anyone studying infectious diseases at the turn of the twentieth century.
