Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book describes the methods used for controlling the spread of hookworm disease, which affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. It presents a therapeutic and preventative plan that the Rockefeller Foundation used between 1914 and 1918 to combat the disease. The author shares the results of their demonstration project in British Guiana, where a team treated thousands of infected people. They developed a system, known as the "intensive method", for identifying, treating, and preventing hookworm disease. In addition to treatment measures, the book includes methods for educating people about the disease, promoting better sanitation, and raising awareness of the benefits of preventative medicine. The book's strategies for containing the spread of this crippling disease remain relevant to public health efforts today.
