The parasitic diseases discussed elsewhere in this issue of the Scientific and Technical Review are not the only ones to make use of biological vectors (such as mosquitoes or ticks) or mechanical vectors (such as horse flies or Stomoxys flies). The authors discuss two major groups of vector-borne parasitic diseases: firstly, helminthiasis, along with animal filariasis and onchocerciasis, which are parasitic diseases that often take a heavytoll on artiodactylsthroughoutthe world; secondly, parasitic diseases caused by vector-borne protists, foremost of which is bovine besnoitiosis (or anasarca of cattle), which has recently spread through Europe by a dual mode of transmission (direct and by vector). Other protists, such as Plasmodium and Hepatozoon, are also described briefly.
本期《科技评论》其他地方讨论的寄生虫病并非仅利用生物媒介（如蚊子或蜱虫）或机械媒介（如厩螫蝇或刺舌蝇）的疾病。作者讨论了两大类媒介传播的寄生虫病：第一类是蠕虫病，以及动物丝虫病和盘尾丝虫病，这些寄生虫病在世界各地经常给偶蹄目动物造成沉重损失；第二类是由媒介传播的原生生物引起的寄生虫病，其中最主要的是牛贝诺孢子虫病（或牛全身性水肿），该病最近通过直接传播和媒介传播的双重方式在欧洲蔓延。其他原生生物，如疟原虫和肝簇虫，也作了简要描述。
