Maurice Neveu-Lemaire Explained

Maurice Neveu-Lemaire (24 September 1872 in Montbéliard – 4 May 1951 in Paris) was a French physician and parasitologist.

After receiving his degree in natural sciences (1895), he spent several years as an intern in marine laboratories at Banyuls-sur-Mer, Roscoff and Tatihou, as well as performing duties as préparateur at the laboratory of parasitology in Paris. After receiving his medical doctorate, he participated as a physician and naturalist aboard the yacht Princesse Alice to the Canary Islands, Madeira, Cape Verde and the Azores (1901-02). During the following year, he performed similar roles as part of the Créqui Montfort et Sénéchal de la Grange mission in South America.[1]

From 1904 to 1920, he was an associate professor to the faculty of medicine in Lyon, where for a number of years he gave lectures on parasitology. Afterwards, he was appointed chef des travaux de parasitologie to the faculty of medicine in Paris, and in 1926 he became a professor in the school of malariology at the university. During the 1920s, he conducted several scientific expeditions to the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa.[1]

In 1901 he described a family of parasitic protists known as Haemogregarinidae.[2] [3] In 1924 he named several genera of parasites that affected large mammals (Khalilia, Paraquilonia, Buissonia, Henryella).[4]
