With the rapid growth of parasitology there is also a growing demand
for laboratory instruction in this field. The author’s greatest desire
during the time that he has been engaged in teaching this subject
has been to place the work upon a good systematic footing, giving it
proper rank with other phases of applied biology. The exercises in this
volume are based upon two standard courses given at the University
of California during the last four years. These courses are Human
Parasitology (first half-year) and Veterinary Parasitology (second
half-year). Each exercise has had careful testing in the laboratory and
is practical.
The aim of this guide is to give the student a wide, practical view
of the field, so that he may have a fair grasp of the general subject
in its application to the health and well-being of man and beast. The
exercises are in sufficient detail to enable the student to continue
work on some specific group or species if he so chooses.
