Besides these, there were several recoveries of the parasites reported from other
animals, domestic and wild, that came under observation during the course of our

INCIDENCE AND INTENSITY OF INFECTION
A study of the incidence and intensity of infections in cattle, buffaloes, sheep
and goats was made for two consecutive years i.e. 1939-1941. For this purpose one
animal of each type was selected daily, except on holidays and the days on which
no slaughtering of animals takes place. This gives us variable number of animals
each month. The work was restricted to the slaughter-houses at Lucknow, where
animals are brought from the surrounding area for slaughtering. The method
followed to determine incidence and intensity is that followed by Fenwick
[1937] in Professor Tattersall's laboratory at Cardiff. The same method was sub-
sequently followed by Swales [1940] at the Institute of Parasitology, McGill Uni-
versity. The incidence of infection is determined on the basis of the proportion
of the infected animals to the total number of animals examined at random ; while
the intensity of infection has been calculated as an average load on the basis of the
infected animals only and is thus in line with the statistical work done at other
centres. The results are embodied in Tables V, VI, VII, and VIII.
Each Table shows the names of the parasites, followed by the monthly determinations
arranged under separate columns. The columns 1, 2, and 3 show the incidence of
infections and columns 4, and 5 show the intensity of infection giving an average
load per animal.
At a later stage, while studying the incidence and intensity of infection of Olveria
indica [Thapar and Sinha 1945, Tandon 1951] in buffaloes only (cattles are not
slaughtered under orders of the State Government in U. P.) at Lucknow, advantage
was taken to record the incidence and intensity of infections of two other amphis-
tomes, Olveria bosi [Tandon 1951] and Paramphistomum gotoi, [Tandon 1955] reco-
vered from the buffaloes and the results are reported in Table IX. This
indicates that all these three species are fairly common in this country at any rate, in
Lucknow and its environments from where the animals are brought for slaughtering.
