The Animal Parasites of Man

"The Animal Parasites of Man" by Harold Benjamin Fantham is an early 20th-century scientific book that explores the world of human parasites. It gives an overview of different kinds of parasites, such as protozoa, worms, and arthropods. The book explains how these parasites are classified, how they live, and what diseases they cause in humans. The authors combined older knowledge with new discoveries in the study of parasites, making the book a helpful tool for medical researchers and students. The book begins with a preface that talks about the changes made from a previous German version and mentions the updated information and reorganized content to display the science since the last version. The authors thank people that helped them with the book showing it was a team effort. The book then lays out a full table of contents to show the different categories of parasites, preparing readers for a journey into the understanding of their biology and effects on human health.
