Parasites of Man.[1]
By T. Spencer Cobbold, M.D,, F.R.5,, Hon, Vice-President Of The Birmingham Natural History and Microscopical Society.
[Continued from page 121.]
Although the twenty-four parasites already brought under the notice of the Section may be fairly regarded us exhausting the list of human trematodes and cestodes, yet several other species of tapeworm have from thine to time been indicated on what are probably insufficient grounds. In this doubtful category I place Weinland’s Taenia megaloon, and also another tapeworm which Dr. Ransome concludes to exist from the diagnostic evidence furnished by the finding and examination of a particular form of cestode ovum. In Weinland's case both loose proglottides and eggs were examined; consequently the strobile may turn out to represent a good species. Weinland figures the ova (in Zoolog. Garten Frankf., 1861, s. 118.) Respecting a variety of manifestly spurious entozaa, such as Frédault's Trachelocampula and the like, I have nothing to say.
- ↑ Read before the Microscopical Section of the Birmingham Natural History and Microscopical Society, June 18th, 1878. On Dr. Cobbold’s behalf, Mr. Hughes exhibited examples of Trichina spiralis, both ln the sexually mature and larval states (capsuled and free.) He also showed specimens of Trichocephalus dispar and T. afinis, together with their ova. As regards hæmatozoa, specimens from human blood, and also from the dog, were shown in contrast, from slides prepared and presented by Dr. Lewis, of Calcutta. A full-grown example of Piluria Bancroft and numerous larvæ were also exhibited. These were from Australia.
