Description: Malaria : Poverty, Race, and Public Health in the United States, Hardcover by Humphreys, Margaret, ISBN 0801866375, ISBN-13 9780801866371, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A medical practitioner with a background in the history of science, Humphreys (history, Duke U.) reminds readers that malaria was very much a prominent American disease, in some areas as late as the 1940s, and is frequently imported into the US as international travel increases. She challenges the conventional view that public health measures and the pesticide DDT were responsible for defeating it. Her answer, tied to geography and insect migration behavior, is supported but not proved by the evidence. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
