The Internal Parasites of Our Domesticated Animals


Book Description

Excerpt from The Internal Parasites of Our Domesticated Animals: A Manual of the Entozoa of the Ox, Sheep, Dog, Horse, Pig, and Cat I indulge the hope that this little volume may not only prove of service to members of the medical and veterinary professions, but also, in a measure, to agriculturists and stockowners, and to other persons more or less interested in the welfare of those quadrupeds that are directly subservient to man's wants. At all events, it was in this latter view that the editor of The Field suggested the writing of the original articles.
