| Title | Paper, 'Notes upon the experimental breeding of Taenia echinococcus in the dog from the echinococci of man' by John Davies Thomas |
| Creator | Thomas; John Davies (1844-1896); Welsh physician; surgeon |
| Date | 1885 |
| Description | Thomas writes: 'The cystic parasite, Echinococcus, is known to occur under four forms, viz, as— 1. The Acephalocystic form. 2. Echinococcus scolicipariens. 3. Echinococcus altricipariens. 4. Echinococcus multilocularis. As regards the Acephalocystic form first described in 1804 by Laennec, it is now generally regarded as a sterile variety in which either no brood-capsules and scolices have been formed, or in which such structures have once been present, but have degenerated and disappeared.'
