Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a study of leprosy in Hawai'i conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service between 1905 and 1908. The author provides an overview of the disease, its symptoms, and its history in Hawai'i, as well as a detailed analysis of data on leprosy cases in the islands. The findings shed light on the epidemiology of leprosy and the effectiveness of segregation as a control measure. Leprosy has been a significant public health concern in Hawai'i for over a century, and this book offers a valuable historical perspective on the efforts to manage the disease. The author examines the role of isolation in controlling the spread of leprosy and discusses the ethical and social implications of segregation policies. The book also explores the potential role of mosquitoes in transmitting leprosy and presents data on the presence of leprosy bacilli in mosquitoes that have fed on infected individuals. This research contributes to our understanding of the transmission dynamics of leprosy and highlights the need for further investigation. The insights gained from this study have implications for the prevention and control of leprosy both in Hawai'i and beyond. The book is a valuable resource for public health professionals, historians, and anyone interested in the history and epidemiology of infectious diseases.
