Abstract
The author analyses the nosological complex << piroplasmosis >> and em phazises the differences between the two sub-orders and families of << piroplasms >>. He studies the life-cycle of these parasites in mammal s and in their vectors, acari belonging to the super-family Ixodoidea. He lays out the mechanisms of piroplasmosis transmission to animals a nd, sometimes, to man and draws from these data the epidemiological fe atures and means of control.
