DAVAINE, Casimir. Traité des entozoaires et des maladies vermineuses de l'homme et des animaux domestiques. 1860.

First edition.

This book is an important synthesis of the studies carried out in parasitology at the end of the 19th century.

Casimir Davaine (1812-1882) was a French doctor known for his work on the "anthrax disease" (an animal disease transmissible to humans).
Having clarified the etiology of anthrax and its bacterial origin, Davaine paved the way for medical microbiological research. He can therefore be considered as one of the founders of bacteriology and microbiology. With him, the idea of the pathogenic role of bacteria entered medicine.
