The history of tropical medicine is as dramatic as the story of humankind. It has its own myths and legends, including tales of epidemics that destroyed whole civilizations. Today, with silent stealth, tropical diseases still claim more lives than all the current wars combined. Having had the privilege of working throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as in the great medical centers of Europe and the United States, the author presents the details essential for understanding pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, therapy, and prevention of the major tropical diseases. The text, now in its eighth edition, has been used for half a century by medical students, practicing physicians, and public health workers around the world. This fascinating book should also be of interest to a broad, nonmedical readership interested in world affairs. All royalties from the sale of this book go to the training of humanitarian workers.

Networks in Tropical Medicine explores how European doctors and scientists worked together across borders to establish the new field of tropical medicine in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book shows that this transnational collaboration in a context of European colonialism, scientific discovery, and internationalism shaped the character of the new medical specialty. Even in an era of intense competition among European states, practitioners of tropical medicine created a transnational scientific community through which they influenced each other and the health care that was introduced to the tropical world. One of the most important developments in the shaping of tropical medicine as a specialty was the major sleeping sickness epidemic that spread across sub-Saharan Africa at the turn of the century. The book describes how scientists and doctors collaborated across borders to control, contain, and find a treatment for the disease. It demonstrates that these medical specialists' shared notions of "Europeanness," rooted in common beliefs about scientific, technological, and racial superiority, led them to establish a colonial medical practice in Africa that sometimes oppressed the same people it was created to help.

Explore the tropical medical research and findings of the British and Sudanese doctors and scientists in the 1900s! Laboratory on the Nile describes in detail the work of The Wellcome Tropical Research Laboratories in Khartoum, Sudan, that was under the direction of Dr. Andrew Balfour in the aftermath of the reconquest of The Sudan after the Mahdia period. As a student of tropical medicine or a medical or pharmaceutical historian, you will discover how the floating laboratory helped to advance tropical medicine as it was towed along the reaches of both the Blue and White Niles to gain clinical cases, collect specimens, and learn about the lives and customs of the Arab and Negroid Sudanese. Based on the complete set of reports and reviews of the Wellcome Tropical Research Laboratories, Laboratory on the Nile presents a summary of the military and political matters that brought the British and Dervish forces of the Mahdia into armed conflict. You will explore how the conqueror, Kitchener of Khartoum, led his people toward civilization with an educational movement that allowed industrial philanthropist Henry S. Wellcome to provide the means for medical research. Complete with multiple photos and drawings of the period (1899-1913), Laboratory on the Nile covers the research of what became a world-renowned center of excellence in tropical disease research. In Laboratory on the Nile, you will discover research that revealed brutal and superstitious practices such as female circumcision, mutilation, crude surgery, barbaric medical practices, the inhumane treatment of those thought to be possessed by devils, and the reliance on charms and mystic-religious practices. Within this historical work you will also explore: research on tropical diseases and the collection of plants, insects, blood samples, and photographs of diseased individuals research on the Nile river, and in agricultural developments, dealing with famines from failed harvests eradicating the mosquito and instilling sanitary conditions in Sudan to halt the spread of diseases and ailments such as dysentery, enteric fever, malaria, measles, and chicken-pox fascinating accounts of Dervish medicine that was a combination of savage quackery and charlatan tricks investigations into tropical medicine, hygiene, parasitology, and sanitation the efforts used to treat the Kal-azar disease which has a long and fatal history in Africa, Asia, and Latin America detailed accounts of early research expeditions that examined the people themselves, their customs, superstitions, and traditional medical practices Laboratory on the Nile is an in-depth look at the tropical medical research and studies that were conducted to benefit the people of The Sudan in fighting diseases. You will gain considerable insight into this fascinating and historical account of these world-renowned research efforts that have helped medicine become what it is today.

First published in 1998. Despite the upsurge of interest in the history of tropical medicine, international public health and the provision of health care in colonial and post-colonial tropical countries, no major text discusses the history of the academic discipline in the twentieth century. In Britain, the two Schools of Tropical Medicine opened within six months of each other in the final year of the nineteenth century. They have played a pivotal role in developing tropical medicine, as an academic discipline in postgraduate medicine with an active research profile. The Schools also affected the development of health care in the tropical colonies. They trained the Medical Officers of the Colonial Medical Service and the indigenous doctors whose training failed to include infectious endemic diseases and lacked an emphasis on community health. The Schools also contributed to a body of knowledge applied by the colonial powers, international agencies and independent nation states as part of their health care programmes. Ultimately the Schools helped the developing world to establish its own priorities for health. This volume charts the history of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine from1898 to1990.
