Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Prophylaxis of Yellow Fever The study of yellow fever has ever been an interesting one from the time it was first observed in the Western Hemisphere to the present day. Whether the disease is indigenous to America or was introduced from the west coast of Africa, is a mooted question. From the historical data which we have on the subject it would appear as though the latter opinion was the correct one. The disease has been a scourge to the fair and fertile regions of tropical and subtropical America and has greatly retarded their material progress. Its existence in an endemic form at various points, such as Habana, Rio de Janeiro, and Vera Cruz, has given these ports an unenviable reputation with travelers and seriously hampered their commercial interests, and carried from these foci to other infectible territory it has caused widespread epidemics resulting in great loss of life, interference with commerce, and financial disaster. The peculiar characteristics of the disease and the mystery which shrouded its etiology and method of propagation have invested it with remarkable interest, and in our day the solution of this mystery, in so far as the method of propagation is concerned, has given us one of the most important advances in modern science. The work of the United States Army Board in establishing beyond a doubt the hypothesis enunciated by Carlos Finlay, in 1881, as to the transmission of yellow fever by the mosquito, was indeed brilliant.
