Mosquito Control in Panama: The Eradication of Malaria and Yellow Fever in Cuba and Panama (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Excerpt from Mosquito Control in Panama: The Eradication of Malaria and Yellow Fever in Cuba and Panama
The writer well remembers one morning when, before starting for Panama, General Gorgas and Mr. Le Prince called on him at his office in Washing ton to talk about mosquitoes, and the confidence which they felt of accomplishing their gigantic task was inspiring. He asked General Gorgas to have specimens of all the Panama mosquitoes sent to him for naming, and the General said, I will assign Mr. Le Prince to see that it is done. Upon which Mr. Le Prince remarked, I will have to do it soon, Doctor, for in a year or so there will be no mosquitoes there!
The brilliant results of the work of General Gorgas and his assistants are now known over the whole civilized globe. It has been an object lesson for the sanitarians of the world and has demonstrated the vitally important fact that it is possible for the white race to live healthfully in the tropics.
