About Yellow Fever: A Worldwide History
Product description The terror of yellow fever conjures images of mass infection of soldiers during the Spanish-American War and horrific death tolls among workers on the Panama Canal. Medical science has never found a cure and the disease continues to present a threat to the modern world, both as a mosquito-borne epidemic and as a potential biological weapon. Drawing on firsthand accounts and contemporary sources, this book traces the history of the viral infection that has claimed countless victims across the United States, Central America and Africa, and of the global effort to combat this challenging and deadly disease. Review "If the reader ever had any questions about the dread disease, Yellow Fever, this is the book that has the answers...thorough...contains valuable information and presents the many controversies that existed as the disease was being understood and eliminated"-- M.G. Paregian, Publisher. About the Author S.L. Kotar of St. Louis has been writing (together with J.E. Gessler) for more than four decades, beginning with scripts for television's Gunsmoke. The late J.E. Gessler lived in St. Louis.
