Extract

It is presumed that the majority of investigators who dissect anopheline mosquitoes for the purpose of detecting the parasites associated with malarial fever are not concerned with the finer details of anatomical relationships. Nor do they take the time to completely isolate the two acinus glands with the accompanying normal six lobes. This latter is assumed not essential in a search for protozoan organisms, as the sporozoites may be found in the torn portions of the acinus material as well as in the muscular tissue and mounting fluid in which the dissection is made.
