Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth look at the medical missions to the West African island of Principe that took place from 1901 to 1914. Exploring the devastating effects of a trypanosomiasis epidemic, or sleeping sickness, that ravaged the island, it sheds light on the history of the disease in Principe and the efforts made to combat it. The author, a medical doctor, presents a detailed account of the medical research conducted and the sanitaire campaign implemented to control the epidemic. The book delves into the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease, as well as its transmission through the tsetse fly. The author also examines the social and economic impact of sleeping sickness on the island's population, including the decline in the native population and the economic struggles faced by agricultural enterprises. The book highlights the importance of public health measures in mitigating the effects of such epidemics, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the history of medicine, tropical diseases, and public health in Africa.
