Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the discovery of the development of the Leishman-Donovan body in the bed bug, its distribution throughout India, and its relation to Kala Azar disease. Historically, the development of the parasite was first observed outside of the human body through the work of Major… S.P. James, who observed it in splenic blood, and Captain C. Christophers, who observed it in the white corpuscles of the blood of palm squirrels. The author continues this line of inquiry by examining blood-sucking insects, ultimately discovering development of the parasite in the mid-guts of bed bugs. This finding opens up new questions about how the disease spreads, and whether the bed bug may play a role in its transmission. The author's work has not only contributed to our knowledge of the Leishman-Donovan body but has also led to a better understanding of the transmission of Kala Azar and other diseases spread by blood-sucking insects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
