Human Helminthiases in the Philippines

Meer over het boek

The book explores the complex distribution of helminthiases, emphasizing the intricate life cycles of parasites and their dependence on intermediate hosts. It examines the interplay of geographical factors, environmental influences, and human activities that contribute to the prevalence and spread of these diseases. The work draws on historical research, particularly Ernst Rodenwaldt's studies in the 1920s, to illustrate the importance of a comprehensive geomapping analysis in understanding the causes of helminthiases distribution.
