Synopsis

Explore the history and science of yellow fever through a detailed nineteenth‑century study. It examines how the disease behaves, how it spreads, and what early researchers believed about contagion, climate, and local origin.


Through careful analysis of cases, climate effects, and the role of environment, this edition lays out arguments about non‑contagion and the factors that make certain places more prone to outbreaks. It also delves into practical topics like prevention, treatment, and public health responses of the era, offering a window into how medicine approached a global fever long before modern germ theory.



  • How non‑contagion arguments were developed and debated in historical context

  • The influence of climate, geography, and urban life on yellow fever outbreaks

  • Discussions of acclimatization, reinfection, temperament, and demographic factors

  • Foundations of treatment and prophylaxis as understood at the time


Ideal for readers interested in medical history, public health, and the evolution of theories about yellow fever.
