Insects and Diseases A Popular Account of the Way in Which Insects may Spread or Cause some of our Common Diseases Produced by Chris Curnow, Lindy Walsh, Greg Bergquist and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Insects and Diseases" by Rennie Wilbur Doane is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the ways in which insects can spread or cause common diseases, making complex biological concepts accessible to general readers. It intertwines entomology with public health, highlighting the significant role insects play in the transmission of diseases. The opening of the book introduces the concept of parasitism, explaining the relationship between parasites and their hosts. Doane elaborates on how parasites derive nourishment from their hosts, often causing them harm, while also discussing various examples ranging from tapeworms to protozoa. He emphasizes the significance of understanding these relationships given the rise of preventive medicine and the need for public awareness regarding the impact of insects on health. Through accessible language and a structured approach, the author sets the stage for a detailed examination of different insects and the diseases they may carry or transmit, paving the way for later chapters focused on specific insects and their associated diseases.
