Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Prophylaxis of Yellow Fever
The knowledge that we now have of the transmission of yellow fever gives us a secure basis upon which to lay our plans against the introduction of the disease or to prevent its spread when introduced. There is, however, one link wanting to give us absolute control of the disease, and that is the etiological factor. The consensus of opinion up to the present time is that it is a micro-organism. Ultramicroscopic, and as yet beyond our means of detection. The importance of deter mining this causative agent is apparent from every point of View, but especially so as an aid to diagnosis, for the prompt and positive diag nosis of yellow fever is one of the most important factors in the pro phylaxis of the disease, especially when it appears in a locality where it was previously unknown or that has been free of it for some time.
