Extract

In a memoir on human and animal schistosomiasis (1934c), I reported the presence of bovine schistosomes for the first time in the Belgian Congo (Elisabethville). I also expressed the opinion that the bovine schistosomiasis in Katanga was of Rhodesian origin. It came from that same region from which Veglia & Leroux in 1929 described a new schistosome of Bovidae and Ovidae under the name Schislosoma mattheei, a species which has since given rise to some controversy. The material I brought back from Elisabethville readily lent itself to a morphological study of the two African bovine schistosomes.
