Author's gift inscription on title page and also signed by one of the illustrators Emma de Bruyn on the copyright page.
'This extensive source of information on the medically important parasites, vectors and venomous animals of southern Africa has been compiled to fill the gap that has existed in the Afrikaans literature on the subjects for decades.
The six chapters are richly illustrated and cover topics such as the following:
* The life cycles of and other information on parasites.
* The role that vectors play in the transmission of pathogens such as the Crimean/Congo cholera virus, the rabies virus, the plague bacillus, etc.
* The location, structure and function of the venom apparatus, the action of the venom and other information about venomous animal species.
* The identification of species.
Although the book is primarily intended as a manual for students and a source from which lecturers can compile meaningful courses for undergraduate and postgraduate students on these topics, it will undoubtedly also be of value to the practicing doctor, veterinarian, pharmacist and many others who are interested in these aspects of human health.' - editor's note
