Distinguished as a Physician and Parasitologist.

Discoverer of three other blood-worms of man viz, 'Filaria diurna, Filaria perstans, and Filaria Demarquaii'. Discoverer of 'Bothriocephalus Mansoni' and of many points in connection with human and animal helminthology. Was the first to describe accurately and to name 'Finea imbricata' and to prove experimentally its dependence on a vegetable parasite. Was the first to point out the signifiance of the flagellated body as the initial stage of the extra -corporeal cycle of the malaria parasite and to enunciate the hypothesis that the mosquito was the host of the parasite at this stage, and therefore an active agent in diffusing malaria, an hypothesis since proved by Major Roo to be correct.
