(f) Parasitology (helminthology
and entomology) : neces-
sity for instituting a survey
of the incidence of the
grosser parasites of live-
stock in India and for the
formation of Central depart-
ments to control work in
this connection.

(f) (1) Entomology : On account of the
great importance of insects in the
transmission of animal diseases, as
causes of direct injury to live-stock
in India, and the high degree of
specialization necessary for a proper
appreciation of the various aspects of
entomology, the staff of the Imperial
Entomologist should be strengthened
to the degree requisite for rendering
assistance to investigators into the
insect problems connected with animal
diseases.
Similarly, facilities should be rendered for
the establishment of a staff attached
either to the Imperial Entomologist or
to the Zoological Survey of India for
the study of ticks and mites concerned
with animal diseases.

(2) Helminthology: In view of the enor-
mous economic loss caused by, and our
present inadequate knowledge concern-
ing the prevalence and the nature of
the species of, parasitic worms present
in animals in this country, the appoint-
ment of a whole-time helminthologist
to investigate the subject from the
standpoint of animal disease is urgent-
ly required in the interests of owners
of live-stock in India. This officer
should work under the direction of the
Imperial Bacteriological (Veterinary)
Laboratory.
