Publisher's Synopsis
De Helminthibus acanthocephalis; commentatio historico-anatomica by August H. L. Westrumb, published in 1820, is a scholarly work written in Latin focusing on Acanthocephala, a group of parasitic worms, also known as helminths. This historical-anatomical commentary delves into the study of these organisms, providing detailed anatomical insights and historical context relevant to the understanding of these parasites during the early 19th century.
The work includes a detailed inventory of dissected helminths within the Museum Vindobonensi, cataloging the specific species found therein. This adds significant scientific and historical value to the study, providing a snapshot of zoological understanding and research practices of the time. This text is invaluable for historians of science, zoologists, and anyone interested in the historical study of parasitology and invertebrate zoology.
