The effects of the war upon the life of rural England are discussed in an interesting paper by Mr. 8. L. Ben- susan. In the course of his theme Mr. Bensusan says:-- "A welcome result of the war has! been the collapse. of ¢lass distinction. As for as the' old-established families are concerned, there has been no con t--they are unconscious of any need of it; the new-comers who have bought or hired the home of some im- poverished family are the people who grate upon peasant and yeoman alike, The latter suspect their intentions, resent their patronage, atid misrepre- sent their best-itentioned actions. War has altered all this. It has given to the old landowner, the non-veau riche, the farmer, and the ploughman, a common interest, a single anxiety. a ploughboy may come home wearing e Victoria Cross, the heir to the es- tate may lie by his side on some stric- ken field.

Now it is learned that these sects which we have never taken very scr- {ously are responsible for many dis- eases that afflict mankind. . Common examples are malaria, yellow fever, sleeping sickness of Africa, Rocky mountain spotted fever of this coun- try, typus fever, which occurs every- where and which recently attracted great attention on account of its rav- ages in the armies engaged in the European war, dengue fever, bubonis plague and, in addition, a long list of maladies' of domestic and wild ani- mals. To most persons the insect-borne diseases are of little importance, says the Washington Star, The mention of them merely recalls maladies like sleeping sickness and kola azar, which are peculiar to tropical re- gions or to remote corners of the earth, It is not generally realized that there is a considerable number of important insect-carried diseases that are of direct concern to people of this country. There are numerous groups of dis- eases occurring in this country which the action of the disease is accidental. This group is represented by tuber- culosis, typhoid fever, and possibly pneumonia and other maladies. Bubonic Plague. was also not mentioned. But this illustrates one consideration of great importance: That our increasing in- tercourse with other parts of the world furnish opportunities for the introduction of diseases, «in many cages transmitted by insects, with which heretofore we have not been forced to contend. The quarantine service is efficient, but there is always a chance that certain diseases may escape. In fact, this is shown very clearly by the introduction of bubonic plague in two greatly removed locali- ties. An illustratino of the complicated relations between insects and human parasites can be mentioned at this point. It is a rather common occur- rence in tropical America for fly lar- vae to be found causing tumors un- der the skin in various parts of the human body. It hod been supposed until recently that the eggs of the fly were deposited on the skin of a hu- man being by the parent insect, and this seemed to be sufficient natural explanation. However, it has been discovered that the process is by no means so simple. The adult fly does not deposit its eggs on the human subject, but on the leaves of plants. There they come in contact with cer- tain mosquitoes which frequent such places, and adhere to their legs. 'When they attack human beings the eggs have had time to hatch and the minute lahvae make their way from the 'insect's bady tothe skin of the subject and soon burrow beneath it. Another Explanation shows the intricacy of the organisms. There is a fatal disease of dogs oc- curing in South Africa and elsewhere, known as malignant jaundice, which is transmitted by a tick. The peculi- arity of transmission in this case is that the infection can be established only by the adult tick of the genera- tion following the one in which infec- tion is acquired. There are no definitely established cases at present, but it is likely that there will be found to be another class of disease in which insects are of im- portance, where the essentiol condi- tion is accidental contact with food. If cockrogches become definitely con- nected with tuberculosis or similar maladies, as seems likely to be the case, they will present such a class as will ultimately be found to be impor- tant. "Even in hospitals where everything: trange disease 5 tiasis, in which the limbs are swol into gigantic proportions. The house fly may be partially to blame for the dissemination of the hookworm. An apparent connection is shown between' a germ carried by cockroaches and cancer-like lesions Yn the internal or gans of mice. The work is not all complete, but may be suggestive of a possible New Class of Disease in which the insect is concerned. Recently in the canal zone an in~ vestigation was made to determine whether or not ants would carry the bacillus of typhoid fever. The in- vestigators stated: "One canareadily see the danger of our situation in ants acting as car- riers of pathogenic micro-organisms, for it is absolutely impossible to keep them out of t he house, and they get into food in spite of our effo The buffalo gnat is responsible for. spotted fever in many cases. Not only is man in danger because of disease-bearing insects, but ani- mals are also among the victims. The list of animals in which insect-borne diseases may occur is undoubtedly in- complete, but includes rodents, cattle, horses, dogs and birds, "The discovery of the causation of diseases by parasites opened a great biological field," said Mr. Hunter, in referring to the connection between insects and disease. "It became evident that the forces of diseases were parallel to many of the biological processes with which naturalists are familiar. Am)ig the many complicated factors which are concerned in this biology of disc.ise are insects. The first knowledge cb- tained on the subject was in the study of an important disease of cattle in this country known as splenetic fe- ver, and this was as recent as 1891. It developed from this study of the bur- eau of animal industry in the cuurse of experiments conducted near the city of Washington that the organism which caused the malady had a cycle outside of the cattle. "In other words, it was necessary in the completion of t he life cycle of the parasite for it to pass through a certain species of tick, in which it went through transformations neces- sary to complete maturity. This dis- covery laid the foundation for remark- able progress in The Study of Disease. Since that time many other disease or- ganisms have been found to be depen- dent upon insects for their develop- ment. "The time has not arrived for the classification of the conditions under which insects may transmit diseases, as our knowledge is being extended almost daily and unsuspected condi- tions or sets of conditions are coming to light. Some of us are led to inquire whether there is no end to the possi- bilities of insect connection with dis- eases, and must every disease, the na- ture of which is not known, be con- sidered as possibly carried by insects. Of course, there is a limit to the pos- sibilities, and other modes of infec- tion must be well considered. This leads us to mention a danger--namely, a possible tendency to exaggerate and overlook, even in 2ases where insects may be occasionally concerned, the greater importance of other modes of infection. The function of air, water, food and contact will always be im- portant, and the enthusiast would do well to weigh them deliberately. "What is the conclusion from all this consideration of insects and dis- eases? We think that it is clear that in the new or biological concep- tion of infectious diseases insects play an important role, and future addi- tions to our knowledge will certainly make this role more important than it' seems to be at the present time. The very abundance of insects and their remarkable interrelations with other animals furnish the foundation. "As Dr. Howard has stated, the ® | physician of the future will be a nat turalist, because the control of in- | fections diseases must rest upon a fl knowledge of natural phenomena nd in this work entomology must . : ibe an important agency." : nT pi
