Title = {Marrow of tragedy: The health crisis of the American civil
war},
Volume = {9781421410005},
Pages = {1-385},
Publisher = {Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press},
Year = {2013},
Month = {January},
ISBN = {9781421409993},
Abstract = {The Civil War was the greatest health disaster the United
States has ever experienced, killing more than a million
Americans and leaving many others invalided or grieving.
Poorly prepared to care for wounded and sick soldiers as the
war began, Union and Confederate governments scrambled to
provide doctoring and nursing, supplies, and shelter for
those felled by warfare or disease. During the war soldiers
suffered from measles, dysentery, and pneumonia and needed
both preventive and curative food and medicine. Family
members-especially women-and governments mounted organized
support efforts, while army doctors learned to standardize
medical thought and practice. Resources in the north helped
return soldiers to battle, while Confederate soldiers
suffered hunger and other privations and healed more slowly,
when they healed at all. In telling the stories of soldiers,
families, physicians, nurses, and administrators, historian
Margaret Humphreys concludes that medical science was not as
limited at the beginning of the war as has been portrayed.
Medicine and public health clearly advanced during the
war-and continued to do so after military hostilities
ceased.},

Title = {Intensely human: The health of the black soldier in the
American Civil War},
Pages = {1-197},
Publisher = {Johns Hopkins University Press},
Year = {2008},
Month = {January},
ISBN = {9780801886966},
Abstract = {Black soldiers in the American Civil War were far more
likely to die of disease than were white soldiers. In
Intensely Human, historian Margaret Humphreys explores why
this uneven mortality occurred and how it was interpreted at
the time. In doing so, she uncovers the perspectives of
mid-nineteenth- century physicians and others who were eager
to implicate the so-called innate inferiority of the black
body. In the archival collections of the U.S. Sanitary
Commission, Humphreys found evidence that the high death
rate among black soldiers resulted from malnourishment,
inadequate shelter and clothing, inferior medical attention,
and assignments to hazardous environments. While some
observant physicians of the day attributed the black
soldiers' high mortality rate to these circumstances, few
medical professionals-on either side of the conflict-were
prepared to challenge the "biological evidence" of white
superiority. Humphreys shows how, despite sympathetic and
responsible physicians' efforts to expose the truth, the
stereotype of black biological inferiority prevailed during
the war and after. © 2008 by Johns Hopkins University

Abstract = {Vaccination has transformed public health, most notably
including the eradication of smallpox. Despite its profound
historical importance, little is known of the origins and
diversity of the viruses used in smallpox vaccination. Prior
to the twentieth century, the method, source and origin of
smallpox vaccinations remained unstandardised and opaque. We
reconstruct and analyse viral vaccine genomes associated
with smallpox vaccination from historical artefacts.
Significantly, we recover viral molecules through
non-destructive sampling of historical materials lacking
signs of biological residues. We use the authenticated
ancient genomes to reveal the evolutionary relationships of
smallpox vaccination viruses within the poxviruses as a
whole.},

Title = {The influenza of 1918: Evolutionary perspectives in a
historical context},
Journal = {Evolution, Medicine and Public Health},
Volume = {2018},
Number = {1},
Pages = {219-229},
Year = {2018},
Month = {January},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/emph/eoy024},
Abstract = {The 1918 influenza pandemic was the deadliest in known human
history. It spread globally to the most isolated of human
communities, causing clinical disease in a third of the
world’s population, and infecting nearly every human alive
at the time. Determination of mortality numbers is
complicated by weak contemporary surveillance in the
developing world, but recent estimates put the death toll at
50 million or even higher. This outbreak is of great
interest to modern day epidemiologists, virologists, global
health researchers and evolutionary biologists. They ask:
Where did it come from? And if it happened once, could it
happen again? Understanding how such a virulent epidemic
emerged and spread offers hope for prevention and strategies
of response. This review uses historical methodology and
evolutionary perspectives to revisit the 1918 outbreak.
Using the American military experience as a case study, it
investigates the emergence of virulence in 1918 by focusing
on key susceptibility factors that favored both the
influenza virus and the subsequent pneumococcal invasion
that took so many lives. This article explores the history
of the epidemic and contemporary measures against it,
surveys modern research on the virus, and considers what
aspects of 1918 human and animal ecology most contributed to
the emergence of this pandemic.},

Title = {17th Century Variola Virus Reveals the Recent History of
Smallpox},
Journal = {Current Biology},
Volume = {26},
Number = {24},
Pages = {3407-3412},
Year = {2016},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.10.061},
Abstract = {Smallpox holds a unique position in the history of medicine.
It was the first disease for which a vaccine was developed
and remains the only human disease eradicated by
vaccination. Although there have been claims of smallpox in
Egypt, India, and China dating back millennia [1-4], the
timescale of emergence of the causative agent, variola virus
(VARV), and how it evolved in the context of increasingly
widespread immunization, have proven controversial [4-9]. In
particular, some molecular-clock-based studies have
suggested that key events in VARV evolution only occurred
during the last two centuries [4-6] and hence in apparent
conflict with anecdotal historical reports, although it is
difficult to distinguish smallpox from other pustular rashes
by description alone. To address these issues, we captured,
sequenced, and reconstructed a draft genome of an ancient
strain of VARV, sampled from a Lithuanian child mummy dating
between 1643 and 1665 and close to the time of several
documented European epidemics [1, 2, 10]. When compared to
vaccinia virus, this archival strain contained the same
pattern of gene degradation as 20<sup>th</sup> century
VARVs, indicating that such loss of gene function had
occurred before ca. 1650. Strikingly, the mummy sequence
fell basal to all currently sequenced strains of VARV on
phylogenetic trees. Molecular-clock analyses revealed a
strong clock-like structure and that the timescale of
smallpox evolution is more recent than often supposed, with
the diversification of major viral lineages only occurring
within the 18<sup>th</sup> and 19<sup>th</sup> centuries,
concomitant with the development of modern
vaccination.},

nineteenth and twentieth centuries: yellow fever, malaria,
hookworm, and pellagra. Each disease contributed to the
inhibition of economic growth in the South, and the latter
three severely affected children's development and adult
workers' productivity. However, all four had largely
disappeared from the region by 1950. This paper analyzes the
reasons for this disappearance. It describes the direct
effects of public health interventions and the indirect
effects of prosperity and other facets of economic
development. It also offers insights into the invaluable
benefits that could be gained if today's neglected diseases
were also eliminated.},

Abstract = {As part of a mid-1940s malaria research program, U.S. Public
Health Service researchers working in South Carolina chose
to withhold treatment from a group of subjects while testing
the efficacy of a new insecticide. Research during World War
II had generated new tools to fight malaria, including the
insecticide DDT and the medication chloroquine. The choices
made about how to conduct research in one of the last
pockets of endemic malaria in the United States reveal much
about prevailing attitudes and assumptions with regard to
malaria control. We describe this research and explore the
ethical choices inherent in the tension between
environmentally based interventions and the individual
health needs of the population living within the study
domain. The singular focus on the mosquito and its lifecycle
led some researchers to view the humans in their study area
as little more than parasite reservoirs, an attitude fueled
by the frustrating disappearance of malaria just when the
scientists were on the verge of establishing the efficacy of
a powerful new agent in the fight against malaria. This
analysis of their choices has relevance to broader questions
in public health ethics.},

Abstract = {Using a comprehensive database constructed from the pension
files of US Civil War veterans, we explore characteristics
and occurrence of type 2 diabetes among older black and
white males, living circa 1900. We find that rates of
diagnosed diabetes were much lower among males in this
period than a century later. In contrast to the late 20th
Century, the rates of diagnosed diabetes were lower among
black than among white males, suggesting that the reverse
pattern is of relatively recent origin. Two-thirds of both
white and black veterans had body-mass indexes (BMIs) in the
currently recommended weight range, a far higher proportion
than documented by recent surveys. Longevity among persons
with diabetes was not reduced among Civil War veterans, and
those with diabetes suffered comparatively few sequelae of
the condition. Over 90% of black veterans engaged in low
paying, high-physical effort jobs, as compared to about half
of white veterans. High rates of work-related physical
activity may provide a partial explanation of low rates of
diagnosed diabetes among blacks. We found no evidence of
discrimination in testing by race, as indicated by rates of
examinations in which a urinalysis was performed. This
dataset is valuable for providing a national benchmark
against which to compare modern diabetes prevalence
patterns.},

prosper in the modem world. The Northern perceptions of the
South as a backward and sickly region were only compounded
by the realization that her population was malnourished,
infected by worms, and continually plagued by agues and
fevers. As historian John Duffy concluded, "As a chronically
debilitating disease, it [malaria] shared with the other two
the responsibility for the term 'lazy Southerner".},

Abstract = {Medical observers during the American Civil War were happily
surprised to find that typhus fever rarely made an
appearance, and was not a major killer in the
prisoner-of-war camps where the crowded, filthy, and
malnourished populations appeared to offer an ideal breeding
ground for the disease. Through a review of apparent typhus
outbreaks in America north of the Mexican border, this
article argues that typhus fever rarely if ever extended to
the established populations of the United States, even when
imported on immigrant ships into densely populated and
unsanitary slums. It suggests that something in the American
environment was inhospitable to the extensive spread of the
disease, most likely an unrecognized difference in the North
American louse population compared to that of
Europe.},

dietary treatments of diabetes mellitus was a high-fat,
low-carbohydrate diet. A review of Frederick M. Allen's case
histories shows that a 70% fat, 8% carbohydrate diet could
eliminate glycosuria among hospitalized patients. A
reconsideration of the role of the high-fat,
low-carbohydrate diet for the treatment of diabetes mellitus
is in order.},

Journal = {Parassitologia},
Volume = {40},
Number = {1-2},
Pages = {183-192},
Year = {1998},
Abstract = {During the 1930s the United States Government poured
significant funds into malaria control, via a variety of New
Deal agencies. These projects were largely confined to
drainage of mosquito-producing wetlands. Malaria had
diminished significantly by the early 1940s, and this paper
queries whether that reduction was due to the control
projects of the thirties, and, if so, whether such projects
should be a model for the current developing world, where
malaria is a growing problem today. Malaria statistics from
the 1930s and 1940s are unreliable, making this assessment,
from the outset, complex. Further, the so-called "malaria
projects" from the 1930s were, in fact, poorly planned
"make-work" enterprises promoted by the Works Projects
Administration and its ilk for the creation of unskilled,
ditch-digging jobs. The drainage work lacked the oversight
of competent engineers (many of them proving, in fact, that
water wont's run uphill), and little of the work had
permanent impact as the ditches were not maintained.
Further, the work was not necessarily concentrated in
malarious areas, since the unemployed's distribution did not
overlap that of greatest mosquito density. Of the
conflicting goals--unemployment relief and malaria
control--the former consistently dominated the latter. The
results were predictable. The author suggests that the
depopulation of the rural south in the late 1930s had more
of an impact (albeit indirect and unintended) on the malaria
rates than did the large sums spent allegedly for the
purpose of malaria control.},
