Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the prevalence of protozoan infections among British troops and natives in Egypt during World War I, with a particular focus on identifying carriers of Entamoeba histolytica, the parasite that causes amoebic dysentery. The author, a leading expert in the field, collected data from thousands of samples, revealing a surprisingly high rate of infection among healthy individuals. This discovery challenged the prevailing belief that amoebic dysentery was a disease confined to those who had traveled to endemic areas. The book provides valuable insights into the epidemiology of protozoan infections and their potential impact on public health. It highlights the importance of understanding the role of carriers in disease transmission and the need for effective strategies to prevent the spread of infection.
