Extract

Just as human helminth infections are vitally influenced by the way in which people live, so the helminthiases of domestic animals depend on how these are managed.Veterinary helminthology is a branch of agriculture. The agricultural industry changes quickly, more quickly than the ideas of scientists. Ideas, in their turn change more rapidly than their practical implications are understood. A discussion of anthelmintic use must therefore be partly agricultural, partly historical.
