PARASITES CALLED
THANKLESS WORMS

"Few animals are totally free
from worm parasites" Henry J.
Van Cleve, professor Of zoology In
the University of Illinois, says.
"Every animal from the smallest
minnow to the largest mammal Is an
unwilling host TO those lower forms
of life which steal their sustenance
from the higher"
AS long as parasites remain In
their usual hosts, they are not as
likely to do great damage as when
they attack new host not custom
arily infected. They are likely to
do great damage.
Doctor Van Cleve says that the
harm parasites do Is not entirely
that which may cause the death
Of the host. There are many nema-
t0de worms which reduce egg pro-
ductiOn In birds. There are other
parasites that may cause complete
sterility.
Most worms produce toxins which
are Injurious in some way. Some
parasites predispose the host to
other forms of disease by lowering
their resistance. The sudden In
crease of parasites may have In
direct results In cutting down wild
life populations, Doctor Van Cleve
believes.
Every little Is known about worm
parasites in fish," he. says. This
study is still In its infancy and an
other generation will pass before
enough data Is collected to enable
man to control parasites In fish.
