Explore the world of parasitic worms and how science tracks their origins, development, and impact on health.

Entozoa: Being a Supplement to the Introduction to the Study of Helminthology collects key findings and updates since the original work. It places practical value on how careful observation, experiments, and careful historical tracing illuminate which parasites matter for human and animal health. The book walks through notable discoveries, methods of investigation, and the range of worms and related organisms found in domestic animals, birds, and sometimes people. It is written for students and researchers who want clear, evidence-based guidance on identifying and understanding these organisms, and on the public health questions they raise.
