The diseases of animals caused by blood parasites in Russian 

 Turkestan are as follows : — Piroplasmosis of cattle, which is very 

 successfidly treated with trypanblue ; in horses the disease is caused 

 by Piroplasma caballi and Nuttallia equi, against both of which trypan- 

 blue has given good results. Sheep are attacked less frequently by 

 piroplasmosis than by Theileria : and while piroplasmosis is not found 

 in dogs, it is common among wolves. Theileriasis in cattle, due to 

 Theileria parva, occurs in two forms, acute and chronic, the first form 

 lasting only a few days and passing into the second. Injections with 

 neosaivarsan and trypanblue have produced no effect on this parasite. 

 In sheep, T. ovis is found, and in camels, a form to which the name 

 T. camelensis, sp. n., has been given provisionally. Foxes rarely 

 harbour Theileria. Nuttalliosis occurs in horses, and in Turkestan is 

 sviccessfidly treated with trypanblue, although in the Transvaal this 

 method was tried unsuccessfully, perhaps owing to some difference 

 in the strains. This disease is also found in donkeys. Anaplasmosis 

 is produced in cattle by Anaplasma marginale and this parasite has 

 been found in horses associated with Nuttallia equi ; it is also 

 occasionally found in dogs.

 Paludisme au Cours de 1916. [Macedonian Anophehnes and their 

 Relation to Malaria during 1916.]— Bnll Soc. Path. Exot., Paris,

Much of the matter contained in this paper has already appeared in 

 a previous article [see this Revieiv, Ser. B, v, p. 86]. In Macedonia, 

 both in Salonica and the interior, Anopheles maculipennis is found 

 to be the most important carrier, its distribution being identical with 

 that of malaria. Whilst suspected pools have been oiled, the breeding 

 places have not been dealt with except in a few sanitary areas. The 

 Anophehnes disappeared after the severe weather of November 1915, 

 and only isolated female individuals of A. maculipennis were received 

 up to early in May 1916. when a rapid increase began. The abundance 

 of mosquitos reaches its maximum more than a month before malaria 

 is at its height. In 1916, the mosquito season ended late and 

 Anophehnes were noticed in January 1917. 



The abundance of Anophehnes not only increases the amount of 

 disease, but renders it more severe. The repeated inoculation and 

 frequency of re-infection evidently explain why Plasmodium praecox 

 is usually more severe at Karasouli than at Salonica.
