Publisher's Synopsis
"A Study of Chronic Glanders in Man" delves into the rare but significant infectious disease of glanders, caused by the bacterium Burkholderia mallei. Authored by George Dougall Robins and originally published in 1906, this work provides a comprehensive examination of chronic glanders in humans, supplementing the study with a detailed case report. The analysis extends to 156 cases collected from existing literature, offering a broad perspective on the disease's presentation and progression.
The study includes an appendix detailing the incidence of equine and human glanders in Canada, highlighting the interspecies transmission dynamics relevant to public health. This historical work remains valuable for researchers, historians of medicine, and public health professionals interested in understanding the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and historical context of glanders. It sheds light on the challenges of managing zoonotic diseases and the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to disease control.
