Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed study of intestinal parasites among native populations in and around Johannesburg, South Africa, from a period of six months in 1917. The author conducted systematic stool examinations of both native men and white men in hospital, as well as detailed post-mortem examinations of deceased native men. The result is a meticulously documented survey of the parasitic fauna of the region, providing a baseline for comparison with future studies. This book is a valuable resource for parasitologists, medical historians, and anyone interested in the distribution of intestinal parasites in sub-Saharan Africa during the early 20th century. It also sheds light on broader questions about the relationship between parasitism and human health in a region undergoing rapid social and economic change.
