 Chameaux du Turkestan russe. — Bull. Soc Path. Exot., Paris, 

 xiv, no. 10, 14th December 1921, pp. 638-640. 



Investigations were made with the object of ascertaining whether 

 the trypanosome in Turkestan camels is the same as the other known 

 camel trypanosomes, Trypanosoma evansi (surra) and T. soudanense 

 (debab of northern Africa). The conclusion is reached that the species 

 found in Turkestan and the Ural is a distinct one, and the name 

 Trypanosoma ninae is proposed for it.

Records are given of the occurrence of Herpetomonas and other 

 flagellates in the digestive tract of chameleons, lizards and geckos.

The author points out that malaria in Corsica has increased since 

 the war owing to the internment there of German prisoners (who were 

 very susceptible to infection and gave new life to the old foci) and to 

 the increase of poverty among the inhabitants.

The authors agree with Marchoux that malaria decreases with an 

 increased prosperity of the population affected. The eradication of 

 Anophelines is not necessary for assuring perfect health conditions ; 

 there are as many larvae of Anopheles macidipennis in Brittany and 

 in and around Paris as in the most fever-stricken districts of Algeria, 

 Corsica or Macedonia. Better food, clothing and shelter constitute 

 important factors, besides those represented by changes in local 

 conditions due to agricultural progress.

Whilst admitting that prosperity in a community is a very important 

 factor in minimising the effect of malarial infection, the author does 

 not agree with the view that prosperity alone will lead to the disappear- 

 ance of malaria in a region where it is endemic. The influence of 

 prosperity in the apparent regression of the disease, i.e., the attenuation 

 or even the more or less permanent absence of morbid symptoms, 

 is also clearly shown in trypanosome infections. Physiological poverty
