Abstract
IN the southern parts of Yugoslavia, infection of human beings with parasites such as Echinococcus, Ascaris, Taenia, Trichina, Fasciola and Amoeba is common. The diagnosis of these conditions is difficult, for the clinical picture is not always characteristic. Moreover, positive identification is essential for medication (Taenia) or surgical intervention (Echinococcus).
