Question

Who are the important people/scientist in the history of parasitology?

Answer 1

There are about 90 different parasites that infest humans in various parts of the world. Parasitic infections have been described by Hippocrates and Galen and other ancient physicians. Patrick Manson is prominent among relatively recent scientists for his work on the role vectors play in spreading parasitic diseases, for example, mosquitoes transmitting the malaria trypanosome. Each class of parasites has its corresponding group of scientists who played a role on their elucidation.
