Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Prevalence of Rabies in the United States The identity of rabies as a definite disease appears now to be generally accepted, although there is still some question as to its etiology. The impression has prevailed, however, that the prevalence of the disease both among man and animals was exaggerated and that press reports of rabies among animals were in most instances erroneous. With the view to determining the prevalence of rabies, or rather its geographical distribution in the United States, a circular letter was sent by the bureau to health officers and others throughout the country having knowledge of the disease. The replies were abstracted by direction of the Surgeon-General and form the basis of this report. That rabies has been endemic in the United States for more than a hundred years is shown by reports of cases and references to the disease in the medical literature from time to time during that period. In reviewing the history of rabies in America, Ravenel states that the first outbreak was reported from Boston in 1768; that it appeared in Philadelphia in 1779; that it was prevalent throughout the Northern States in 1785, and that soon after that time it spread to the southern part of the country. "Washington, December 31, 1908. Dear Doctor: Investigations of rabies are being made by the United States Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service, and it is desired to determine the prevalence of this disease in the United States. This can only be done with the cooperation of very health official and physician throughout the country. Will you please furnish the data called for on the inclosed blank with respect to cases which have occurred in your community during the calendar year ended December 31, 1908? Should no cases have occurred in your jurisdiction, notification of that fact and return of the blank is nevertheless requested. The bureau will very much appreciate your assistance in this matter, and the data collected will be of value looking to the prevention of the disease.
