Extract

A few years ago it was believed that there was only one form of trematode responsible for the pathological conditions included in the term Bilharziosis, namely a worm, known as Schistosoma haematobium, which has had numerous other synonyms, but as I am dealing with the subject purely from a South African point of view, I need merely mention that given it by Dr John Harley, namely Distoma capense.
