Abstract

The concept of a 'Golden Age' of parasitology over the period 1875–1925 has been promoted. This is challenged on scientific grounds, the influence of colonialism, and the absence of informed consent for test-subjects. An alternative inclusive view of history is proposed based on themes of scientific, technological, and sociological advancement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
