Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of hookworm disease, a neglected tropical illness that claimed thousands of lives in the 19th century. The author, a leading expert on the subject, traces the discovery of the parasite that causes the disease, the development of treatments, and the public health efforts to control it. The book also examines the social and economic impact of hookworm disease, particularly in the American South, where it was once widespread. Hookworm disease is now largely under control in the developed world, but it remains a major public health problem in many tropical countries. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine, public health, or tropical diseases.
