34 ENDOPARASITES RECORDED IN QUEENSLAND. 
No attempt has been made to collect references to 
the occurrence of these diseases in Queensland, though 
in Johnston, 1909c, those relating to dengue and smallpox. 
are quoted, whilst Cleland (1913) has given an account. 
of the occurrence of whooping cough, measles and scarlet. 
fever—also (1914c) of dengue in Australia; and Breink 
(1913e) (dengue and smallpox)—see also Moore, 1914; 
O’Brien, 1908; Turner, 1890; Davidson and Scott, A. 
Med. Gaz., 1911.* 
Amongst the Proflagellata (Spirochetida) tnere may 
be mentioned 
Treponema pallidum, Schaud (syphilis). 
Treponema pertenue, Castell (yaws)—Torres Straits. 
chiefly. Brienl, 1915; Elkington, 1912. 
Many of the earlier references will be found in 
Johnston, 1909c. 
The disease of ulcerating granuloma (granuloma pudendi 
or granuloma inguinale) occurs amongst the aboriginal 
population in the North (O’Brien, 1908; Jackson, 1911; 
McLean, 1911; Elkington, 1912; Brienl and Priestley, 
1916b). Its causative organism may be Spirocheta aborigin- 
alis, Cleland, or it may (more probably) be caused by 
Leishmania sp.f, which is found infecting some of the cells. 
Amongst the Sarcodina, the only one recorded is 
Entameba histolytica, Sch., which causes amoebic dysentery 
and tropical liver abscess. 
For references see Johnston 1909c; O’Brien (A. Med. 
Gaz., 18, 1899). It is endemic in New Guinea (Breinl 
1913e, Moore, 1914), Thursday Island and other islets 
in Torres Straits (Elkington, 1911, 1912, 19126; Breinl, 
1911, 1915, 1913e). Entamoeba coli, Loesch, is no 
doubt common, but I do not know of any record of 
its presence in this State.
