Download or read book Yellow Fever and the South written by Margaret Humphreys and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 1999-05-28 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last half of the nineteenth century, yellow fever plagued the American South. It stalked the region's steaming cities, killing its victims with overwhelming hepatitis and hemorrhage. Margaret Humphreys explores the ways in which this tropical disease hampered commerce, frustrated the scientific community, and eventually galvanized local and federal authorities into forming public health boards. She pays particular attention to the various theories for containing the disease and the constant tension between state and federal officials over how public funds should be spent. Her research recovers the specific concerns of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century South, broadening our understanding of the evolution of preventive medicine in the United States.

Book excerpt: Caused by a virus that is spread through the bite of an infected mosquito, yellow fever gets its name for the jaundice it causes its victims. This hemorrhagic illness has plagued humans throughout history, and before the development of a yellow fever vaccine, the mortality rate from this disease was high. Tropical nations now prevent epidemic yellow fever levels through vaccination, and travelers to these areas are advised to take precautions.

Download or read book Yellow Fever written by James L. Dickerson and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-06-03 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using personal tales, diary extracts and anecdotes, [Dickerson] paints a vivid picture of the full horrors of a disease that struck indiscriminately....he has written personal accounts of the great US epidemics and humanity's fight to overcome the virus....this slender volume makes pleasant reading. -Times Literary Supplement[A] well-written history of the yellow fever epidemics that ravaged Philadelphia, New Orleans and other locales from the late 1700s through the 19th century....As interesting as the medical tale are the social aspects, such as the role of the city's blacks, who believed they were immune to yellow fever, in treating its victims....Dickerson suggests that yellow fever is a prime candidate for use as a biological weapon, and he considers disturbing evidence that global warming could bring a resurgence of the virus in North America. -Publishers WeeklyYellow fever is unlikely to be found on a list of potential health threats facing Americans today. Most people, if they have heard of the disease at all, would consider it a historical curiosity from a bygone era. In this fascinating study of a once-terrifying pandemic, author James L. Dickerson makes it clear that the disease could reemerge with deadly virulence.In a vividly told narrative, filled with poignant and graphic scenes culled from historical archives, Dickerson recounts the history of one of the most feared diseases in the United States. From the late 18th to the early 20th century, yellow fever killed Americans by the tens of thousands in the Northeast and throughout the South. In Memphis alone, five thousand people died in 1878.Dickerson describes how public health officials gradually eliminated the disease from this country, so that by the mid 1950s it had ceased to be of much concern to the public at large. However, to this day no cure has been found. As a mosquito-borne viral infection, yellow fever is impervious to antibiotics, and it continues to wreak havoc in parts of South America and Africa.Focusing on the present, Dickerson discusses the potential threat of yellow fever as a biological warfare agent in the hands of terrorists. Also of concern to public health researchers is the effect of global warming on mosquito populations. Even a one-to-two degree warming enables disease-bearing mosquitoes to move into areas once protected by colder weather. He concludes with a discussion of current precautionary efforts based on interviews with experts and analysis of available studies.Both absorbing history and a timely wake-up call for the present, Yellow Fever is fascinating and important reading.FURTHER PRAISE FOR YELLOW FEVER:Beginning with a smoothly written history of yellow fever in the United States followed by the eventual discovery of its cause, Dickerson then lays out the sobering scenario for its reemergence both naturally and as a weapon.... It is sobering to realize there still is no cure for this ancient scourge and vaccinations are not fool proof or without risk. This is a serious wake-up call that needs to be read by anyone with an interest in public safety. -Monsters and Critics.com[Dickerson's skills as a journalist make this book a good read for a nonscientific audience....still, there are a number of sections that will be of interest to physicians and scientists. -Journal of Clinical InvestigationJames L. Dickerson, an award-winning journalist and a former social worker, has published twenty nonfiction books and numerous health-related articles for magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Omni. His books include Dixie's Dirty Secret, an investigative account of civil rights abuses in the 1950s and 1960s.
