William Trager has been an avid student of parasites for over 50
years at the Rockefeller University. Around the turn of this
century, parasitology enjoyed a certain vogue, inspired by colonial
responsibilities of the technically ad vanced countries, and by the
exciting etiological and therapeutic discoveries of Ross, Manson,
Ehrlich, and others. For some decades, the Western hemi sphere's
interest in animal parasites has been eclipsed by concern for
bacteria and viruses as agents of transmissible disease. Only very
recently, initiatives like the Tropical Disease Research programs
of WHO-World Bank-UNDP, and the Great Neglected Disease networks of
the Rockefeller and MacArthur Foundations have begun to compensate
for the neglect of these problems by United States federal health
research agencies. Throughout that period, how ever, the
Rockefeller Institute (later University) has given high priority to
the challenges of parasitism, corresponding during a formidable
period with Dr. Trager's own career. The present work then, is a
distillation of the insight collected by our principal doyen of
parasite biology, informed but by no means confined to his own
research. It is addressed to the reader of broad biological
interest and training, not to the specialist. The disarmingly
unpretentious style makes the work readily accessible to college
undergraduates or even to gifted high school students; but do not
be deceived thereby, as it has an enormous range of factual
information and theoretical insight, familiar to few, but
potentially important to most biologists."
