Was known from ancient times (see above, Cook, 1993a; Nunn, 1996). Endemic haematuria is mentioned several times in the medical papyri, and calci®ed eggs have been identi®ed in Egyptian mummies dating from 1200 BC. The ®rst Europeans known to be a€ected (su€ering from haematuria) were soldiers of Napoleon's stranded army in 1799±1801. Theodore Bilharz (1825±1862), a German parasitologist, discovered the parasite, Distomum spp. responsible for Egyptian haematuria on 1 May 1851; some 30±40% of the local population was infected, more commonly men than women.

The shaded portion (vertical shading betweeen weeks 3 and 6) correlates with the period of infection in which the death of the patient usually occurs if the dose of parasite ingested is high enough to be lethal.

Towards the end of 1853, Pierre van Beneden (1809±1894) showed that after oral administration of T. solium proglottids to the pig, Cysticercus cellulosae developed. From a public health viewpoint, J. L. W. Thudicum (1829±1901), appointed by the Privy Council in 1864, carried out extensive inspections for `measly' meat at London's meat markets. Tapeworm infection was a major problem in British troops in nineteenth-century India, up to one-third of whom harboured T. saginata. Recorded deaths from hydatid disease in England and Wales between 1837 and 1880 were always 560 annually; sheep were, however, commonly a€ected.
