Book Description
Fred L. Soper e D. Bruce Wilson lideraram uma campanha sanitária no Nordeste brasileiro que culminou com a erradicação, em tempo recorde – apenas 35 meses –, do mais eficiente dentre os vetores da malária, o mosquito Anopheles gambiae. Considerado leitura obrigatória para os interessados em saúde pública no Brasil, o relatório final dessa campanha – que descreve detalhadamente os procedimentos e métodos de trabalho sob o ponto de vista de seus diretores – foi originalmente publicado em inglês, em 1943. Pouco depois, em 1945, o relatório ganhou uma edição em português, mas não uma tradução fiel. Ela se voltava para as atividades do Serviço de Malária do Nordeste e a questão dos doentes de malária, enquanto o original era centrado nas ações da Fundação Rockefeller e na campanha de erradicação do mosquito. Decidiu-se, então, retraduzir o original – encontrado hoje em dia somente na seção de obras raras de bibliotecas especializadas –, incorporando alguns elementos de destaque da primeira versão em português.

The Long Struggle against Malaria in Tropical Africa
Author: James L. A. Webb, JrPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139917072
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
The Long Struggle against Malaria in Tropical Africa investigates the changing entomological, parasitological and medical understandings of vectors, parasites and malarial disease that have shaped the programs of malaria control and altered the transmission of malarial infections. It examines the history of malaria control and eradication in the contexts of racial thought, population movements, demographic growth, economic change, urbanization, warfare and politics. It will be useful for students of medicine and public health, for those who are involved with malaria research studies, and for those who work on the contemporary malaria control and elimination campaigns in tropical Africa.

Book Description
Malaria is one of the most important “emerging” or “resurgent” infectious diseases. According to the World Health Organization, this mosquito-borne infection is a leading cause of suffering, death, poverty, and underdevelopment in the world today. Every year 500 million people become severely ill from malaria and more than a million people die, the great majority of them women and children living in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2008, it was estimated, a child would die of the disease every thirty seconds, making malaria — together with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis — a global public health emergency. This is in stark contrast to the heady visions of the 1950s predicting complete global eradication of the ancient scourge. What went wrong?This question warrants a closer look at not just the disease itself, but its long history and the multitude of strategies to combat its spread. This book collects the many important milestones in malaria control and treatment in one convenient volume. Importantly, it also traces the history of the disease from the 1920s to the present, and over several continents. It is the first multidisciplinary volume of its kind combining historical and scientific information that addresses the global challenge of malaria control.Malaria remains as resurgent as ever and The Global Challenge of Malaria: Past Lessons and Future Prospects will examine this challenge — and the range of strategies and tools to confront it — from an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective.
