Specificatii
This ground breaking study is the first to comprehensively examine
the history of yellow fever in Louisiana. As the state's largest
city and principal port, New Orleans was frequently the center of
yellow fever outbreaks. Brought in repeatedly via shipping from
Latin American endemic centers, the disease spread from the city
throughout the region, carried by infected persons or mosquitoes,
along the expanding lines of trade and travel--river, coastal, and
later rail. In its numerous attacks spread over more than a century
of southern history, the saffron scourge destroyed thousands of
lives, cost millions of dollars, and affected almost every facet of
community life. Author Jo Ann Carrigan discusses every major
epidemic from 1796 through 1905, with attention to the historical
peculiarities of major visitations as well as similarities observed
in all yellow fever epidemics. Saffron Scourge then shifts to
topical discussions of medical theories and controversies, changing
patterns of therapy, the social, political, and economic
consequences of yellow fever, and the means by which medical
science finally conquered the disease.
